About this product

Product Information

George Stevens' lavish adaptation of this classic casts Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor as the star-crossed lovers. As George Eastman (Clift) hitchhikes into the town where a job awaits him at the factory of his affluent Uncle Charles (Herbert Heyes), the lovely Angela Vickers (Taylor) speeds by him. Although the job entails packing bathing suits all day, the young man works hard in his eagerness to get ahead. Driven by loneliness, he becomes involved with coworker Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters), a simple woman of limited appeal, in a relationship which defies company policy. After receiving a promotion, he's invited to a party at the home of the wealthy Vickers family, where he meets Angela, and the two quickly fall in love. While he and Angela continue to see each other, he is forced to continue his involvement with Alice, who threatens to get him fired by revealing their relationship. At the end of a whirlwind summer George and Angela receive the approval of her father (Sheppard Strudwick) on their marriage plans. Shortly thereafter, Alice informs George that she's pregnant with his child. Stevens transforms Theodore Dreiser's biting critique of America's caste system into a glossy romantic melodrama. Sumptuously photographed by William Mellor, who frames the almost inhumanly attractive couple in some of the most dizzyingly enraptured close-ups in movie history, the film features excellent performances by Shelley Winters and Clift, whose presence maintains an earnest, haunted passivity.

    A Place in the Sun one to add to your film noir collection

    Good to see Montgomery Clift and Elisabeth Taylor together fairly early in their careers. Film based on the book an American Tragedy, So it's got good "genes"! The DVD arrived as promised and is a very good print.

  • An Unexpected Dark Gem

    First and foremost, this isn't your typical early 1950s movie. The plot deals with a lot of taboo topics from that era such as sex, unwed pregnancy and one more scandalous one, but without being a spoiler, I can't list it for you :) Overall, the acting was great and seeing Elizabeth Taylor and Shelly Winters in their earlier years is always a bonus. Montgomery Clift also did an excellent job. Overall, I felt the director did an excellent job of building relationships with the characters and keeping you in suspense as you went along. To me, it really depicts the darker side of life in the 1950s; things that went unnoticed. Naturally, for a film of this era, you won't be treated to the gory details of the "taboo" topics; the camera will fade away and you will, ...

  • great movie

    Montgomery Cliff starts off with good intentions of becoming something in life, but ends up making a bad descision that ultimately ruins his life.

  • Good Movie

    Liz Taylor and Shelly Winters are really good in this movie. I didn't really care for Montgomery Clift's character. I don't really know why Liz liked him so much.
