I love Bigger than Life. Have you seen any of Douglas Sirk's stuff? Sort of similar. All that Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind. Really good stuff. In many ways more polite precursors to movies like American Beauty and Happiness and in some ways even Blue Velvet and John Water's Desperate Living. That whole thing of there being a core ugliness beneath middle America's 'perfect' self-image. I can't recommend Douglas Sirk enough.
