Well, I guess I'm a sucker for melodrama, because I really enjoyed All That Heaven Allows, which is now one of my favorites from 1955. Got it recently on sale from Criterion.
Beautiful pq on this blu-ray. Sirk is quite a one for colors. It weaves a web of cinematic fantasy even at it critiques the narrow-mindedness of the upper middle class of the time.
Highly recommended.
It's impressive how many good films from 1955 now have beautiful blu-ray releases.
My favorite list as of today from 1955: 1. Lady and the Tramp 2. To Catch a Thief 3. East of Eden 4. All that Heaven Allows 4. Bad Day at Black Rock 5. Oklahoma! 6. Kiss Me Deadly 7. The Trouble with Harry 8. Richard III 9. This Island Earth 10. Picnic 11. The Man From Laramie 12. House of Bamboo 13. Artists and Models 14. The Desperate Hours 15. Lucy Gallant 16. Rebel Without a Cause 17. The Kentuckian 18. Daddy Long Legs 19. We're No Angels 20. A Man Called Peter
I know I'm missing something, and there are several notable movies from 1955 I still haven't seen....
