Written on the Wind
Sinopsis
Written on the Wind (1956) is one of classical Hollywoods most striking films and
ranks among Douglas Sirks finest achievements. An intense melodrama about
an alcoholic playboy who marries the woman his best friend secretly loves,
the film is highly stylised, psychologically complex, and marked by Sirks
characteristic charting of the social realities of 1950s America.
This first single study of Written on the Wind reassesses the films artistic
heritage and place within the wider framework of contemporary American
culture. Incorporating original archival research, Peter William Evans examines
the production, promotion and reception of Written on the Wind, exploring its
themes – of time, memory, space, family, class and sex – as well as its brilliance
of form. Its vivid aesthetics, powerful performances and profound treatment
of human emotions, make Written on the Wind a masterpiece of Hollywood
melodrama.
