The use of color is hard not to connect with the future Giallo aesthetics and Fassbender, which must have far-reaching influence. The film does not hide the antagonism between classes at all (although the roles are almost the same, the two groups of supporting characters from different classes are treated differently: the male protagonist's friends are flesh-and-blood from the background to the character, and the character movement and editing of the dance sequence are lighthearted and cheerful The heroine’s middle-class friends are flattened, facialized and even unified, editing and character movements have become regular and rigid, and the hero’s participation in a party is more like a sheep in a wolf’s den), but I don’t know because of the negligence of the script, Or because Hudson's own star charm is too dazzling, the male protagonist's image is very simple, except for the reasoning that "everything is a match made in heaven, God's blessing" based on the stag at the end and the title "All That Heaven Allows", the audience It's hard to feel the love from the little spiritual exchange between the two characters. At least from my point of view, as the heroine's children and friends say, she "only fell in love with his sweet words and his muscles."

Douglas Sirk. The moral plot in the melodrama is probably Sirk's favorite theme. The theme of the movie seems dogmatic now, but it should have been very bold and avant-garde at the time.

Cary Scott: [reading from Mick's copy of Henry David Thoreau's Walden] The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed?
[pauses as Alida enters, continues reading]
Cary Scott: If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it's because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
