"All That Heaven Allows"

Abstract: 4 pages in length. The notion of May-December romances in Hollywood movies is certainly nothing new where thematic content is concerned; however, when the notion of social class crossing is added to the mix, then the once-ordinary theme of older woman/younger man relationships takes on an interesting new twist. Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman play the two love struck characters in director Douglas Sirk's 1955 film entitled "All That Heaven Allows," which dares to challenge unwritten social policy that mandates people of each economic class must remain within their respective boundaries when it comes to seeking love.
