Critic Reviews of "A Place In The Sun"
Chicago ReaderNovember 13, 2007A good example of the kind of soporific nonsense that won rave reviews and armloads of Academy Awards back in the 50s, while the finest work of Ford, Hawks, and Hitchcock was being ignored.
Chicago ReaderNovember 13, 2007Hopelessly inadequate as a reading of Dreiser's great novel, and as usual Stevens seems too preoccupied with the story's monumentality to have much curiosity about its characters.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Typically slow and stately in the later Stevens manner.
The AustralianJune 27, 2014One of the great studio dramas of the period and one of this column's favourite films, with haunting performances from Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.
Total FilmFebruary 04, 2013Most of Dreiser's acrid social satire is smoothed away by Stevens' grandiose style, and it's all too stately to be affecting.
Observer (UK)February 03, 2013George Stevens's meticulously observed 1951 version of Theodore Dreiser's massive 1925 novel An American Tragedy ...
London Evening StandardFebruary 01, 2013Stevens's unsentimental characterisation and the pair's fine performances make this one of Clift's most memorable films.
Little White LiesJanuary 31, 2013Clift's mesmerising, tragic performance only deepens with time.
Not Coming to a Theater Near YouOctober 14, 2011The power of A Place in the Sun's plot, and its most noirish element, is its ability to force the viewer to unquestioningly follow this dream logic.
EmanuelLevy.ComMarch 03, 2008Though not as powerful as Von Sternberg's first version, it still merits attention for the strong perfromances of Clift, Taylor, and Shelley Winters--and that mega clos-up of a kiss, which broke records of erotic imagery at the time.
