The Tarnished Angels

Douglas Sirk never fails to create a tangled web of dramatic romance. The relationships between the characters in this film are crafted with such complexity. Roger, who loves airplanes more than anything and ends up exploiting Laverne, meanwhile Laverne, who has loved Roger since she was young despite the absence of real romance in their marriage, and then Burke, whose presence in their lives intensifies the drama and emotional tension even further. What a piece of cinema, Douglas Sirk. After making Written on the Wind (https://boxd.it/8Kl4pJ), you went on to create a drama like this.
