I was pleasantly surprised by this film; better than anticipated for a melodrama of this type.
But according to the film scholar included with the bluray, Douglas Sirk apparently meant this film to be a critique of the racially divided and gender straightjacketed 1950s America; a sharp critique against the Patriarchy. Marylee is even claimed to figuratively kick her patriarchal father down the stairs to his death (!)
The film also exposes the insincerity of the shallow uniting of heterosexual couples; against the “heterosexual resolution of the film” and the “sort of” promise of Family: “That is just held out as hollow,” she says. Get out of here, beatch!
Moreover: Mary lee’s scandalous one-night stand guy Biff Miley is “turned over” to the handsomely gay Rock Hudson, implicitly for those two men to form a pair outside the movie’s own “straight”-jacket of Hays’ production code.
This scholar is a fine example of activist academicians going bat sh*t crazy. They are Legion and should be sent off to William Friedkin’s Exorcists.

One of the better Sirk’s movies. Brilliant and so beautiful. Thanks for high definition and adds.
