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)

What an example of pure cinema. A dark and terribly sad tale told under the guise of a romance. The three leads are electric with each pair of the triangle having a unique chemistry that is wholly entertaining. While he film is handsomely shot, the music stands out as superb. The murder reveal via radio set against the sound of a speed boat, again, is pure cinema.

despite the prestige picture trappings, derided by certain notable critics as safe and stodgy, it's really quite bold how this film forces you to identify with a creepy (clift is the original leland palmer man i swear), unlovable dude's doomed chasing of the american dream at all costs. a subjective perspective arises from the quietly haunting, dreamy filmmaking, and the ability of the two female leads to inspire great longing and disdain respectively.

It's interesting to look back on these old films. At the beginning, I thought it had potential, but it was squandered. It has a message, but I'm not sure I agree with it.

Though a little bit hammy (except for Shelley Winters, whom I can never really find fault in), A Place in the Sun surprised me with its complexity. The protagonist runs a smooth gamut between sympathetic and detestable, and the viewer will feel increasingly challenged and tested in their judgment of him.

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.

I really can't figure out how I feel about this one. It isn't very engrossing but there's a lot to like about it - Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor together, Shelley Winters, some excellent scenes and things like that.
