Directed by George Stevens • 1951 • United States
Starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters

Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor make for one of the most swoon-inducing screen couples of the 1950s in this deluxe, multi-Oscar-winning adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. Clift delivers perhaps his greatest performance as a poor but enterprising young man caught between two women—a factory worker (Shelley Winters) and a glamorous socialite (Taylor)—as he attempts to climb his way to the top.
