A Place in the Sun

So onward we move to another movie which is a total buzz kill: A Place in the Sun. The movie wasn't bad necessarily (great acting, great actors, good story line) but wow....what an ending. Let's just say you don't walk away from this movie feeling inspired or anything. You should probably keep all sharp objects away from you for a good hour after the movie because you just want to kill yourself. That being said, you can't not like it. I mean...Elizabeth Taylor anyone?!?! She's GORGEOUS!! Gorgeous I tell you!!! Her lips....wow! Also starring, Montgomery Clift who is mildly handsome in my opinion (a little puny in this movie. He's much better looking in "From Here to Eternity") and we also have Shelley Winters. The movie was nominated for best actor (Clift) and actress (Winters) and best movie, but did not win. Clift stars as George Eastman, a hardworking young man who came from nothing and comes to work for his very successful uncle at "Eastman's". There, he meets "Al" (Winters) and they have a bit of "thing". He meets Angela Vickers (Taylor) at a party and its love at first sight for him, although she doesn't give him the time of day. So time goes on, he fantasizes about Angela Vikers while dating Al. What I love about old movies is that they don't show a full out sex scene--its just implied. No clothes coming off, no loud moaning noises that leave feeling very very ackward when you are sitting there with your mother or father. Its just implied that when he goes in the room at night and the next scene is the day and he is leaving you know that they "did the deed". And the deed they did do because Al becomes PREGNANT!! SCANDELOUS!!! Which is quite a shame for George Eastman because he meets up with Angela Vickers and she is completely taken with him and they completely in love. So now what? What is George Eastman to do with Al and his illegitmate child? Kill her of course! But does he? Who knows?!?! Well I do since I watched the movie. I leave you with this cliffhanger and its up to you to find out if he does or doesn't.
Until tommorrow...
