Review of A Place in the Sun (1951) by R W — 31 Mar 2011
George Eastman is a pull yourself up from the bootstraps type of guy. He doesn't want to be poor anymore. George gets tangled in a love triangle with the plain factory girl (Alice Tripp) he gets pregnant and the rich debutante (Angela Vickers) whom he loves for who she is and essentially what she can do for him.
(Entree into better social circles.) When his Plain Jane ends up pregnant and can't get an abortion, his dreams of life with Angela start to crumble and he will do anything not to let that happen.
This is where the action gets tense, and you are drawn brilliantly into Montgomery Clift's desperation. To say anymore would be too much of a spoiler, and you won't see the ending coming.
