The Heiress (1949)

Posted on 12:05 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: William Wyler
Writers: Augustus Goetz, Ruth Goetz, Henry James
Cinematographer: Leo Tover
Composer: Aaron Copland
Cast: Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, Ralph Richardson, Miriam Hopkins, Betty Linley

Adapted by husband and wife team Augustus and Ruth Goetz from their own 1947 play, which itself was based on Henry James’s short story Washington Square (1880), Wyler’s masterful depiction of the cynical awakening of a young ingénue, silly enough to still believe in love, is, with its precise, expressive mise en scène, consummate central performance, and unsentimental tone, perhaps Wyler’s finest work.
