テイラーの美しさは奇跡だ！映画、陽のあたる場所（Place in the sun）

The scene when they talk for the first time
Plot:
Based on Theodore Dreiser's novel "An American Tragedy", this film follows the life of George Eastman (Montgomery Clift). George's family runs a mission for the poor and he wants to escape this drudgery (退屈な重労働)to lead a better life. With the promise of a job by his wealthy uncle Charles (Herbert Heyes), he hitchhikes to the city with nothing but the clothes on his back. His cousin Earl (Keefe Brasselle) gives him a menial job ( 単純労働)on the assembly line and his life is suddenly looking better. In the local movie theater, George spots Alice Tripp (Shelly Winters) a worker on the assembly line. This chance meeting leads to a relationship that is against company policy. Uncle Charles does not want "one of the Eastman's" to be a common worker and begins to give him more responsibility and introduces him to the society page life. At a party George meets Angela Vickers (Elizabeth Taylor), a beautiful debutant(初登場）, and the two begin a whirlwind romance(めまぐるしい）. Alice learns that she is pregnant and when she tells George he starts to plot ways to get out of this situation. He is in love with Angela, playing with the rich and famous and leading a life that he never dreamed. Alice knows about his romance with Angela and becomes very controlling over George to the point of blackmail. The twists and turns take shape and George's up and down life starts it's final decent. The cast does a wonderful job and is reason alone to view this film. However, the story will make the viewer take sides and wonder what might have been. Although the film is was made 50 years ago, the plot of obtaining a goal at all costs still applies today. A movie well worth adding to a collection. Obviously Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor are the "big names" in this film, but I found Shelly Winters and the character she played to be the most intriguing. She wasn't really appealing yet one could certainly identify with her feelings of insecurity with Taylor as her competition. "Liz" was in in her prime, looks-wise, with an absolutely classic face.
