Believe it or not, I finally watched this movie for the first time in my life. It is a cautionary tale about a young man (Montgomery Clift) who gets a job in his uncle's company and meets a young lady (Shelley Winters) who works there as well. They go out together and go too far. He also meets the daughter of a well-to-do family who are friends with the uncle and falls in love with her. Everything is going well until the first girl lets him know that she is in the family way. And that is where everything begins to go wrong. Outstanding performance by Elizabeth Taylor as the socialite, Angela Vickers.
This movie was nominated for 9 Oscars and received 6 -- Best Director, Best Writing Screenplay, Best Cinematograph, Black and White, Best Costume Design Black and White, Best Film Editing, Best music Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture.
