This is my idea of fun while working solo on the night shift! Douglas Sirk love unites!

"R. W. Fassbinder, already the director of nearly twenty films by the age of twenty-nine, paid homage to his cinematic hero, Douglas Sirk, with this updated version of Sirk's ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS. Lonely widow Emmi Kuroski (Brigitte Mira) meets Arab worker Ali (El Hedi ben Salem) in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love -- to their own surprise, and to the shock of family, colleagues, and drinking buddies. In ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL, Fassbinder expertly uses the emotional power of the melodrama to reflect the ethnic tensions within German society."
