A Place in the Sun

This social tragedy film, based on Theodore Dreiser's novel, stars Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters. Handsome George Eastman is guilty of just one thing: being born on the wrong side of the tracks. But this hard-working young man plans to improve his social standing. When he meets Angela Vickers, a beautiful society lass, love blossoms. But a long separation leaves George lonely and uncertain of their future. So he begins a clandestine affair with homespun, mill-worker Alice. Once George's relationship with Angela is rekindled, he'll have to figure out how to get rid of Alice?
