A Place in the Sun (1951)

Director: George Stevens (Shane, Giant)
Stars: Montgomery Clift (From Here to Eternity, never seen anything else)
Elizabeth Taylor (Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Flinstones)
YesNoSoso: 2

An awesome movie. This was one of the AFI 100 that I thought I would hate, but ended up really enjoying. Not just for the sentimentality of it being considered one of the greatest movies of all time, for its honest to God entertainment value. I find a lot of these movies were perhaps original at the time of its making, but lose its luster over the years. A Place in the Sun maintains a stark amount of inventive orginanality.
