A place in the Sun
Nothing to do with the property program on Channel 4, this is instead a glossy adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s novel “An American Tragedy” which won Six Oscars and was available with a Sunday newspaper recently. I really enjoyed it.
It stars Elizabeth Taylor & Montgomery Clift as Angela Vickers and George Eastman two people from completely different social backgrounds, who meet and fall in love. She is a beautiful, wealthy socialite and he is a poor young man. .
Despite their differences George is determined to gain a place in respectable society and win the hand of Angela. However a young factory girl (Shelley Winters) is hiding a secret which threatens his romantic & professional prospects and drives him to commit an act of passion that threatens to unravel his world forever..
