Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of course it's predictable
Review: A previous reviewer described this film as predictable. Of course it is, it is part of the genre. I thinks she misses the point completely. It is a romance, a saga, and of course it must have a happy end. It goes without saying.
It is my first Sirk, I taped it a couple of weeks ago and saw it today. It felt like going back to the films I saw when I was young. And I loved it, The lush Technicolor, the beautiful sets, the lovely costumes together with some fine acting, a well written script and a lovely melodrama. I cannot think of a better way to spending a boring Sunday than laying in my sofa watching this brilliant entertainment.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Predictable
Review: A wealthy playboy's carelessness causes tragedy. Determined to make amends by doing good works, he gradually undergoes a transformation of character and attains his heart's desire.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: the color is almost hallucinatory
Review: I liked this movie for its color which evokes the colors of Indian dieties such as Hanuman. Trippy acid colors.

The story is over the top, but enjoyable like Johnny Guitar.

Summary: I can't believe people don't see what this movie is about!
Review: I saw this movie on TCM, coming in where Rock's guardian angel
tells him of this strange powerful lifestyle--LOVING OTHER PEOPLE AS YOURSELF! (hmm, I wonder Who said that?) He didn't shout or even say these words exactly, but Rock gets a full force blast of its power on his first attempt at helping his fellow man, culminating in the catastrophic blinding of Jane. This is his epiphany, his salvation, as he follows the path of Christ (again, not mentioned in the movie), but it SCREAMS IT OUT ON TO THE MAGNIFICENT ENDING!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Clear Enough
Review: I've seen this movie on television many times. I'm a dyed in the wool Rock Hudson fan, so naturally I loved this movie. However, I've also read the book, and I don't think the movie made it clear what the story was really about. It focused on the love story--naturally--it's Hollywood! But the real story is a spiritual one, and I wish that could have been brought out more. Although the DVD isn't out yet, I sincerely hope the studio chooses to put it out--I'll add it to my collection

Summary: Great movie (remember its from another era)!!!
Review: Loved the movie and though it was predictable, you got to remember it was from another time. The acting was great and Jane Wyman was spectacular and lovely as always.

He didn't shout or even say these words exactly, but Rock gets a full force blast of its power on his first attempt at helping his fellow man, culminating in the catastrophic blinding of Jane. This is his epiphany, his salvation, as he follows the subliminal path of Christ TO THE MAGNIFICENT ENDING!
