Friday 56: Written on the Wind

Buckle up for some melodrama!

Written on the Wind

"Alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley marries the woman secretly loved by his poor but hard-working best friend, who in turn is pursued by Kyle's nymphomaniac sister."

Starring: Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone

Thoughts: There's a reason why Douglas Sirk is rightfully regarded as an auteur and this film is yet another example of his deft directing and art direction skills. I love it.
