What critics compared There's Always Tomorrow to
It's a gentle reminder how, in some small regards, we've also inched away from children being used as tools sanctioning their mothers' sexuality a la celebrated Douglas Sirk melodramas, such as All That Heaven Allows (1955) or There's Always Tomorrow (1956).
At its height, Speilberg channels a sense of Douglas Sirk’s soapy melodramas, such as All That Heaven Allows (read review) or There’s Always Tomorrow (1956), where Jane Wyman and Barbara Stanwyck play mothers whose children disastrously intervene in their love lives.
