Filmmaking giant George Stevens' Oscar-winning romantic melodrama, the story of a working-class man (Montgomery Clift) who is entangled with two women; one who works in his wealthy uncle's factory (Shelley Winters) and the other a beautiful socialite (Elizabeth Taylor).
Theodore Dreiser's 1925 novel on which this is based has been adapted numerous times, including stage productions in 1926 and 1929, and a 1931 film version directed by Josef von Sternberg. There is also an intriguing failed attempt in the 1920s to get it on the big screen, which involved a screenplay by Sergei Eisenstein and Charlie Chaplin as producer.
