The best autumn leaves scenery in a classic movie? “All That Heaven Allows” from 1955.
In honor of the first day of fall (in the Northern Hemisphere) on September 22, 2022, take a look at some of the spectacular scenery in "All That Heaven Allows," a technicolor tale of a wealthy woman (Jane Wyman) who falls in love with her arborist(!) played by Rock Hudson.
Set in Connecticut, many scenes were filmed in a studio backlot named "Colonial Street," dressed to resemble a New England town, according to IMDB. The set was used later by TV's "Leave it to Beaver."
The movie came on the heels of the box office hit "Magnificent Obsession" and the studio wanted to pair up Wyman and Hudson again to try to recreate the success. Director Douglas Sirk returned for "All That Heaven Allows" as well, with cinematography by Russell Metty and a screenplay by Peg Fenwick based on a novel of the same name.
