A Place in the Sun (1951)
It really looks like George Eastman can at last have his place in the sun. A chance meeting with a long lost uncle has led to a job with a future and the beautiful and well bred Angela Vickers is just as infatuated with him as he is with her (imdb)

I have mixed feelings about this. On a technical level it's great, well paced, beautiful lighting and great performances. The story's interesting too, but the way it makes you feel about Clift's character and his actions is a little worrying.

Someone want to tell me why I should care? Apart from the boat scene, this is terribly uninteresting.

The ordinary story works extraordinarily well, thanks in no small way to the Clift-Taylor pairing.

I have no idea what we were supposed to care about in this film, but I didn't care about anything. The characters were all terribly pathetic and terribly acted. I felt like we were supposed to sympathize with George, except for the fact that he is a mega douchebag who forced himself into these situations by not listening to anyone and not being able to keep his genitals in his pants, and who was really a terrible person but not well-written or acted enough to make me care.
