Leave your thoughts about All I Desire.
| Cinematic ReflectionsDerek Smith[It] may be the most ironic statement on the disturbing allure of 50s suburbia that Sirk ever made. |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerThe dark corners in [Douglas] Sirk's America are first explored in All I Desire... |
| User ReviewJustin Mjust fantastic - wonderfully wrought emotional tension, complicated family relationships and brilliant performances all in just under 80 mins. |
| User ReviewLibby TSublimely directed Barbara Stanwyck vehicle, unfortunately saddled with cheap black-and-white by the penny-pinching studio. Nonetheless a fascinating, affecting dry run for themes of class divides and life as performance later explored by Sirk more fully in All That Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life. |
| User ReviewNikolas Gclassic Hollywood movies with bright cast , as the most movies of Sirk |
| User ReviewJames-Masaki RI'm proud to be reviewing the new Barbara Stanwyck collection before it's release. This movie was great. I'm a sucker for anything Douglas Sirk. He cracks me up in an unintentional way. Most of these have never been seen before. My favorite being "The Lady Gambles." Hilarious. Think Reefer Madness with a gambling dame as the subject. This collection is highly suggested. |
| User ReviewBill TIt's not the greatest Sirk but it's solidly composed and filmed. |
| User ReviewGreg WDouglas Sirk's All I Desire is the story of the burleq dancer, Naomi Murdoch (Barbara Stanwyck) who left her family a long time ago, decides to pay them a visit. She have told her in her letters that she's an famous actress, which of course is a lie. |
| User ReviewTom HDecent Drama about a family in turmoil because of the mother returning after years absent. |
| User ReviewArt SHere's Barbara Stanwyck in a Douglas Sirk film just before he started his run of masterworks (Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind, Imitation of Life, etc.). She is the only reason to watch this film (but always a good reason), as the rest of the cast, apart from Lena the cook (played by Lotte Stein), is rather unexceptional. Sirk is fixated, as usual, on people's concerns for what others think and how that can ruin lives -- this time at the turn of the 20th century in small town Wisconsin. Stanwyck, who earlier left her family for an acting career -- I mean left her husband and small children -- returns by surprise 12 or 13 years later. Pure melodrama but only 79 minutes and black and white. Stanwyck was luckier to be paired with Fred MacMurray in the later Sirk outing, There's Always Tomorrow. |
