Answer
Carmen,

Think you may have two movies mixed together.. the plot you describe is from Far From Heaven, made in 2002, but that movie was a remake of a film called All that Heaven Allows, made in 1955. They did NOT include the homosexual subplot in that 1955 film, of course, and the gardener was NOT black, due to all the racial tension in the 50's... but look up these two films and see if they are what you are looking for...
