Dr. Hennessy: “You’re just as lonely as you were before. Lonelier, in fact. So what good was your noble sacrifice? Cary, marry him”.
An astonishing cinematography, an absolutely fantastic color palette, an undoubtedly memorable masterpiece.
I can understand why this social pressure weighs so heavily on Cary’s shoulders, especially for a widowed woman in the 1950s. Selfish children and unpleasant companions almost got the best of her, but she chose the right path, guided by her own heart. There are no obstacles to love.
A brief moment of love to Jane Wyman, so intense and brilliant, and to Rock Hudson, so charming and resplendent.
