Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor make for one of the most swoon-inducing screen couples of the 1950s in this deluxe, multi-Oscar-winning adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. Clift delivers perhaps his greatest performance as a poor but enterprising young man caught between two women—a factory worker (Shelley Winters) and a glamorous socialite (Taylor)—as he attempts to climb his way to the top.

The ordinary story works extraordinarily well, thanks in no small way to the Clift-Taylor pairing.

Worthwhile, if only for the chemistry between Clift and Taylor.
