All That Heaven Allows

"...I certainly believe that happiness exists, if only by the simple fact that it can be destroyed."  -- Douglas Sirk


Just watched another excellent Sirk, American Melodrama, All That Heaven Allows - Criterion Collection.  

Poignant scene in which children purchase a TV for their widowed mother after squelching her happiness with another man.  This is not Sirk's best film, but highly recommended for people familiar with his works.
