Become a memberUSA, 1955, 89 mins. DIRECTOR: Douglas Sirk WITH: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead Cary Scott (Jane Wyman) is a wealthy widow and a respected member of New England’s tight-knit country club society. When she falls in love with Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson), a handsome and much younger gardener, their relationship scandalises her community. Their romance defies the rigid social codes of 1950s middle-class America, as scandal, family alienation and prejudice threaten to pull them apart. Douglas Sirk’s timeless melodrama is a Technicolor masterpiece, featuring career-best performances from Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. It stands as a landmark of cinematic storytelling—capturing both the suffocating comfort of conformity and the radiant power of forbidden desire. The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge, the Eastern region, and throughout the UK.
