A Place In The Sun
Description
George Eastman, a handsome and charming but basically aimless young man who goes to work in a factory run by a distant, wealthy relative. Feeling lonely one evening, he has a brief rendezvous with assembly-line worker Alice Tripp, but he forgets all about her when he falls for dazzling socialite Angela Vickers. Alice can';;t forget about him, though: she is pregnant with his child. Just when George';;s personal and professional futures seem assured, Alice demands that he marry her or she';;ll expose him to his society friends.

Though not as powerful as Von Sternberg's first version, it still merits attention for the strong perfromances of Clift, Taylor, and Shelley Winters--and that mega clos-up of a kiss, which broke records of erotic imagery at the time.

Time Out
June 24, 2006
Typically slow and stately in the later Stevens manner.
June 27, 2014
One of the great studio dramas of the period and one of this column's favourite films, with haunting performances from Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

Stevens's unsentimental characterisation and the pair's fine performances make this one of Clift's most memorable films.
November 13, 2007

The power of A Place in the Sun's plot, and its most noirish element, is its ability to force the viewer to unquestioningly follow this dream logic.
November 13, 2007
Hopelessly inadequate as a reading of Dreiser's great novel, and as usual Stevens seems too preoccupied with the story's monumentality to have much curiosity about its characters.
February 03, 2013
George Stevens's meticulously observed 1951 version of Theodore Dreiser's massive 1925 novel An American Tragedy ...
