Cary Scott is a widow with two grown children. She's been leading a quiet life since her husband died, socializing with a small circle of friends. Her children no longer live with her full-time but come home every weekend. She's not unhappy but also doesn't realize how bored she is. Her friend Sara Warren encourages her to get a television set to keep her company but she doesn't want that either. She develops a friendship with Ron Kirby who owns his own nursery and comes every spring and fall to trim her trees. Ron is much younger than Cary and their friendship soon turns to love. Her circle of friends are surprised that she is seeing such a younger man and she might be prepared to overlook that - Ron certainly doesn't care about the differences in their ages - but when her son and daughter vehemently object, she decides to sacrifice her own feelings for their happiness.

Τι κάνει και εδω ο Ντάγκλας Σερκ... Συναίσθημα, ένταση, ρυθμός, ψυχολογία σχέσεων, δραματουργία, κοινωνικό σχόλιο, ψυχοσύνθεση, χαρακτήρες, χρώματα, φωτογραφία, ατμόσφαιρα, όλα είναι "εργαλεία", στα χέρια αυτού του μεγάλου σκηνοθέτη, που κάνει την καλύτερη του ταινία μαζί με το Imitation of Life, του 1959. Πόσο έχει παραγνωριστεί στα βραβεία και ο Σερκ ... Σπουδαία Τζεην Γουάιμαν. Η ταινία έδωσε την έμπνευση για τις ταινίες «Ο Φόβος Τρώει τα Σωθικά» του Ράινερ Βέρνερ Φασμπίντερ και το «Μακριά από τον Παράδεισο» του Τοντ Χέινς. - @Sunday, June 11, 2017 11:20 PM

We had to watch this for a lecture on our Film Course and throughout the whole film we were making jokes about trees so it was a lot of laughter and tree related puns - @Thursday, February 2, 2017 12:30 AM

This film remains modern - and terribly romantic. Every time I buy a Christmas tree, I think of the same scene in this film. - @Friday, December 5, 2014 2:56 PM

I saw this movie for the first time on television last week and fell in love with it. 30mins to the end of the movie my roommate came home and was hoping to god she wouldn't change the chanell and think goodness got to see it all the way through. I hope this is on dvd would love to get it - @Friday, August 9, 2013 8:23 AM

One of the best classic romance movies ever! Rock is wonderful. Playing the perfect strong man who protects his woman and defends her. He melts my heart when he stands firm against those who disapprove. Perfect man..... - @Thursday, April 19, 2012 4:43 PM

One of my favourite classics! Rock Hudson is amazing in this. What a man - how he defends his woman and ignores gossips. Men like that make me melt. Minds of their own!!! - @Thursday, April 19, 2012 2:18 PM

Sirk is the man, one of those guys that has a far reaching influence and will continue to have that influence for as long as their is a film. Can see that influence even in a film that is decidedly un-melodramatic like "In The Family". bitly. co m/H f K E up - @Friday, April 13, 2012 8:04 PM
