All That Heaven Allows.

Cary Scott (Jane Wyman) is an affluent widow in Stoningham in suburban New England. She becomes interested in Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson), her gardener, an intelligent, down-to-earth and respectful yet passionate younger man. Ron introduces her to people who seem to have no need for wealth and status and she responds positively. Cary accepts his proposal of marriage, but becomes distressed when her friends and college-age children are angry. They look down upon Ron and his friends and reject their mother for this. Eventually, bowing to this pressure, she breaks off the engagement.
