A Place in the Sun

Newly Added • 2h 2m

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

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.
