FILM 1550: ALL THAT HEAVEN
ALLOWS
TRIVIA: A major part of the movie
revolves around the fact that Jane Wyman's
character is supposed to be substantially older than Rock Hudson. In reality,
Jane Wyman was only 38 and Rock Hudson was only 30 when they filmed this movie.
Included among the "1001
Movies You Must See Before You Die", edited by Steven Schneider.
The house Jane Wyman's character
lives in (on Universal's "Colonial Street" backlot) was built on
rented Universal property by Paramount Pictures for 1955's "Desperate
Hours"; Universal left it standing after filming, altering its appearance
for "All That Heaven Allows." Four years later, it was altered again,
for use as the house of the Cleaver family in TV's "Leave it to
Beaver," beginning with the show's move from CBS to ABC for the 1959
season. The house continued as the Cleaver house until the end of the series in
1962, but was known at Universal as the "Paramount House," not the
"Cleaver House."
The façade later cannibalized to
make up the front of the Bates home in "Psycho" is visible a few
houses up Cary's block.
