The Twilight Zone S1E8

Time Enough At Last

“The best-laid plans of mice and men - and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis - in the Twilight Zone.”

Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman in All That Heaven Allows (Douglas Sirk, 1955) Cast: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead, Gloria Talbott, William Reynolds, Conrad Nagel, Charles Drake, Virginia Grey, Jacqueline deWit, Donald Curtis, Merry Anders. Screenplay: Peg Fenwick, based on a story by Edna L. Lee and Harry Lee. Cinematography: Russell Metty. Art direction: Alexander Golitzen, Eric Orbom. Music: Frank Skinner.  Pauline Kael called All That Heaven Allows "trashy," and others have called it "campy," but the ongoing reevaluation of the work of its director, Douglas Sirk, has delivered a new respect for the film, leading to, among other things, its selection in 1995 for inclusion in the Library of Congress's National Film Registry. Some would still call it a triumph of form over content, because no one today seriously questions Sirk's brilliant exploitation of the technical resources available to him, specifically his unusually expressive work, in collaboration with cinematographer Russell Metty, in Technicolor, a proprietary medium whose proprietors had rigidly fixed ideas about what could be done with it. Sirk called on Metty for, among other things, more shadows and more use of reflections than were conventional in Technicolor. See, for example, the near-silhouetted figures of Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman in the still above, with its subtle backlighting. And notice how the television set that's an unwelcome gift to Wyman's Cary Scott from her children is used in the scenes in which it appears: It's never turned on, but instead its blank screen reflects Cary's face, almost as if the set is a cage in which she's trapped. In another scene, it reflects the flames in the fireplace, becoming a little bit of hell. But that symbolic use of the TV set also suggests why we ought to take All That Heaven Allows more seriously for its content, as filmmakers like Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Todd Haynes have done by echoing it in their films. Because ATHA is the epitome of the "woman's picture" as ironic commentary on what women experienced in the 1950s. For all her masculine name, Cary undergoes a constant reminder of her vulnerability as a woman: She is nearly raped by the drunken Howard Hoffer (Donald Curtis). At or near 40 (Wyman was 38), she is thought by her children to be beyond remarrying for love or even sex: Hence their tolerance of a proposal from the asexual or possibly closeted Harvey (Conrad Nagel), who admits he can't offer her much beyond "companionship." The television set is pushed on her by everyone who thinks it will provide relief from loneliness. The children only come round to something like acceptance of their mother's independence after she has broken off the engagement to the handsome, virile (and younger) Ron Kirby (Hudson), and they have started new lives of their own: The daughter is getting married and the son is going off to work in Iran --  a reflection of different times. No wonder Cary suffers psychosomatic headaches. I admit to having problems with the film's ending, in which she seemingly finds fulfillment only by devoting herself to nursing the now-vulnerable Ron back to health, as if a woman can only be useful by serving a man. But Sirk himself had problems with that ending, which was imposed on him by the producer, Ross Hunter. Sirk wanted more ambiguity about whether Ron would live or die. All That Heaven Allows was ignored by the Academy, though Metty's cinematography certainly deserved notice -- it was probably judged a little too unconventional by his peers -- as did Frank Skinner's score, with its effective use of quotations from Liszt and Brahms and its resistance to melodramatic overstatement.

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #330: The Damned Don’t Cry (1950) - dir. Vincent Sherman

Get ready and strap in for The Damned Don’t Cry, a hidden gem of a crime melodrama that stars one of the all-time queens of the “woman’s film,” Joan Crawford. Our heroine plays Lorna Hansen Forbes, a lady on the run after a corpse is found dead by the side of a Las Vegas road and his death is linked back to her rented house, which was the scene of the crime. After Lorna escapes and drives to her parents’ small-town shack in Texas, we learn through a flashback (lasting nearly the entire length of the film) that she is really Ethel Whitehead, a former housewife who left her meager existence and a lousy husband (Richard Egan) behind after their only child, a young boy, was fatally struck by a car. Ethel wants (to quote the title of another Joan Crawford film) the best of everything, while she still has a chance.

Upon arriving in New York, Ethel quickly graduates from newspaper stand cashier to fancy-dress model, learning from fellow fashionplate Sandra (Jacqueline deWit) that the path to success requires schmoozing with the handsy customers. Ethel’s training changes her from wide-eyed to hardened, morphing into the kind of cynical, sharp-tongued dame you would see in the film noir genre. Just as she starts to grow weary of her endless nights out on the town, she meets a CPA who works in the same building as the modeling agency, Martin Blankford (Kent Smith), an adorably bespectacled schnook who is immediately transfixed by Ethel. Thanks to his new girlfriend’s tenacity, Martin gets a cushy job balancing the books for the elegant head of the local crime syndicate, George Castleman (David Brian), but the situation is complicated by Martin’s discomfort at partaking in illegal activities and much more so by the affair that begins between Ethel and George.

As if a love triangle weren’t enough, gang wars enter into the picture too. George keeps Ethel - newly reborn as oil heiress “Lorna Hansen Forbes” for the society columns - as his mistress (you just know he’s one of those guys who would never actually divorce his wife) and because he has her wrapped around his finger, she agrees to help him snuff out a mob rival. Ethel/Lorna travels to Las Vegas, where she insinuates herself into the life of Nick Prenta (Steve Cochran), a young upstart who plans on breaking free of George’s enterprise and leading his own faction of organized crime. Naturally, George begins to get jealous at the thought of Ethel/Lorna falling in love with Nick, so before long, George and Martin journey to Las Vegas; actions unfold that force Ethel/Lorna to return to her childhood home, where the film’s lengthy flashback ends and the final showdown occurs.

All of the performances in The Damned Don’t Cry are top-notch, although I would like to give special praise to Kent Smith, whose role as Martin is wonderful not only when he appears as a mostly upstanding citizen but also during the last third of the film, when we realize that has fallen as much under George Castleman’s spell as Ethel has. Martin does what the wrestling community would call a heel turn, shifting from good guy to subservient henchman with disturbing ease. It always seems as though Kent Smith is described by film critics as the weak link in casts (see the IMDb reviews for the two Cat People films, The Voice of the Turtle, The Fountainhead and Sayonara), but over the years I have grown fond of him and his rich, resonant speaking voice.
