Synopsis
Douglas Sirk's acclaimed romantic drama serves both as a superior weepie and a critique on the morals of America's 1950s bourgeoisie. Jane Wyman stars as Cary Scott, a wealthy widow who has decided that it's time to restart her life once more. She's not short of suitors, but not only is the man she's attracted to younger than her, he's also her gardener, Ron Kirby. She's initially not afraid to flout conventions, but the disapproval of her grown-up children and her social set force her to rethink.
