buyer beware of bootlegs
IF you see this cover on the front with Jane hugging Rock Hudson's head, you will be hugging your own when you recieve GUESS WHAT!!?, a BOOTLEG DVD. the sound is terrible, and the color vibrates in and out like a psychedelic bad trip. I couldn't even a watch a full ten minutes, the picture was that awful, grainy fuzzy sound. Spend the money on a legit copy of this wonderful movie.
BEWARE

Romantic
This is one of the first romantic movies I can remember watching as a teenager and I loved it. I ordered it on DVD recently and enjoyed it just as much as I did back then.

A touching movie with several dramatic premises!
A well renown playboy (Rock Hudson) blinds Jane Wymann in a car accident. Stricken by this fact , he reforms and becomes doctor to restore her sight. Thence among them a little love spark will begin to kindle although the well known of the selfish advises of her sons in order to leave him.

There's more than a single aspect to keep in mind around this film. Douglas Sirk was one of the few filmmakers capable to make a gentle approach about the feminine universe as any other previous director before him. As a matter of fact we should not wonder this had been the director who most influenced to rainer Werner Fassbinder fifteen years later.

Far beyond the open finale in which one ignores what will be going on, underlies the primary plot at least to me, that turns around the way her sons analyse and judge the future of her affective sentimental relation. They judge him but soon she made the crucial decision, every one of them followed their lives according their own interests forgetting their passionate defence respect their beloved mother. Sirk remarks so admirably this loneliness feeling through this unforgettable sequence on Christmas night.

The other important plot is the road to redemption and self improvement as human being that experiences this man after that fatidic accident and the way he acquires consciousness about the real importance of the human condition and what it must figure as relevant along a human life.

We are what we do (Goethe).
