Douglas Sirk is one of our favorite directors. His films are perfectly old-school Hollywood with lovely colors and insane melodrama; the subject matters are bold for their time but hold true today.
All that Heaven Allows (later beautifully remade as
Far from Heaven with Julianne Moore) and
Imitation of Life are both excellent. We watched
Magnificent Obsession a few nights back and it was not my favorite (a little
too hokey) but look at those windows!
I think these windows are quite nice. Wouldn't you like to have a wall of windows (and Rock Hudson asleep on the couch!)?

wasn't rock hudson gay? I mean he can still sleep on my couch but it doesn't have the same connotations. I think I prefer the archivist sleeping on my couch.
