A word of advice - watch a few Douglas Sirk movies first especially "All the Heaven Allows" with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson and "Imitation of Life" with Lana Turner. The former film is for the romance with a gardener and the latter is the racism issue. It will make watching this more interesting and it's delightful to pick up the similarities - music costumes color palate cinematography and plot. In terms of the social issues highlighted it's quite far from Douglas Sirk by dealing with a homosexual husband something that couldn't have been shown in the 50s.
Julianne Moore is lovely as the perfect housewife in Hartford. Dennis Quaid is her tormented gay husband. Dennis Haysbert is the gardener.
This is a good movie and very involving but I prefer the original Sirk movies still.
