Freudian symbolism runs riot in Douglas Sirk’s glorious saga of a rich Texan dynasty foundering on the children’s feelings of anxiety and jealousy, sexual or otherwise. With Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson.
Freudian symbolism runs riot in Sirk's glorious saga of an oil-rich Texan dynasty foundering on the grown children's feelings of anxiety and jealousy, sexual or otherwise. Their 'decent' love objects (Lauren Bacall, Rock Hudson) try to save them, but only make matters worse... Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone's admirably high-pitched acting is matched by the remarkable colours of Russell Metty's camerawork.
