Written On The Wind - 1956 - 7/10
Friends Mitch and Kyle both fall for Lucy. Mitch, poor yet honest, Kyle a rich alcoholic.
Who will she pick? Ha! $$$ beats L-0-V-E, suckers.
But wait! Kyle also has a scheming, sex kitten sister, of easy disposition, who desperately wants Mitch.
Wonderful, trashy melodrama, packed with guilt, toxicity, schemes.
Sumptuous production values, florid cinematography.
For anyone curious about director Douglas Sirk, this is the film to watch.
100% soaper, but heavenly to take in.
