write on the wind be an irresistible and wonderfully kinky film and a only director sirk could have do it . the movie be submerge in a bucket full of freudian symbol and weird melodramatics and colorful contrast . the connection between financial success and moral decay be the film main theme . sirk seem to suggest that sexual dysfunction be one of the side effect of capitalism . however and i prefer to see the movie a a prime example of what sirk could do with kitschy material . the palette of color be particularly impressive . the acting in the film be great too . rock hudson and lauren bacall be terribly glamorous and give the film an aura of elegance and but the movie belong to robert stack and dorothy malone ( she deservedly win the best supporting actress oscar ) and who manage to keep the film at a boiling point . kudos to frank skinner pulsate score and russell metty brilliant camera work ( every single shot be a masterpiece in itself ) and and the production design department . also and the title tune be a beauty . it an unforgettable movie .
