a place in the sun

I'm sorry for the lateness of this post for some reason this blog was not letting me write or post anything for a bit this morning. but now it's coo. unforently tomorrow i will not be near a computer for most of the day so i will not be back til friday.


I've liked this for a while and watch it last nite. I really like how kind of melodramatic it is on the surface but it's a really good simple story. A poor kid who has some rich relatives is shown the good life. He is given a small job in there factory where he meets a girl alice they fall in love then he gets a much better job and meets high society girl angela. Of course he wants angela more and she's a hell of a lot hotter.
The framing in this film tells the story so well you could probably turn the sound off and tell what's going on exactly. Which is a truely great complament for any film.
everyone plays there part so well you think they were born for them. elizabeth taylor and shelly winters are both really remarkable in this film i think motogomery clif does a great job as well.
I guess the trail at the end always feels like they didn't film it right but i really love the rest of the film. I'm never sure how i feel about the trail but it doesn't work.
George Stevens is a favorite of mine and this is one of his best. I think he was good at doing these kinda stories and making it so everybody could see them but they were still good as well.
If you havn't seen it rent it's defently worth your time
