Treadmill Theater: Trudging Through the Classics #8 - A Place in the Sun (part 1)

May 10, 2010 11:12

Not as much to say about this one, as compared to Sunrise.

Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters. According to the trailer, this movie stands alone amongst romantic dramas. I guess. It's like She's All That, but with less Matthew Lillard. No, that's not entirely right. Elizabeth Taylor is pretty, Shelly Winters is a little frumpy. Elizabeth Taylor has pretty clothes, and is shot in soft focus, so therefore she's the one that Montgomery Clift wants.

This movie seems to have the elements of a thriller, which wasn't what I expected. Don't go to the lake, Shelley!

Part 2 tomorrow.
