Stella Dallas

Stella Dallas

A powerful indictment of the rigid class barriers emerging in the prosperous postwar United States of the 1920s. Stella marries a banker’s son “above her station,” but is unable to adapt her dress and behavior to the bourgeois standards of her new husband. When her daughter gets engaged to a boy from a “good family,” Stella sees the picture clearly: only by straying from this lifestyle can she ensure her daughter’s happiness.
