Advantages: Highly entertaining cinema Disadvantages: Not a thing
version that well, as I watched it in the cinema and it was before the days of VCR and DVD players. But I do remember thoroughly enjoying it (as I do most Steve McQueen movies) which is the reason I had avoided watching this remake for so long, studiously avoiding it on the shelves of the local video shop and in the Sky Movie listings. But a cold, wet December evening and a dearth of anything else decent to watch on the gogglebox led me to view it for the first time during the past week. I?m very glad I did. Isn?t it a real bonus when you begin to watch a movie with no real expectations of it being anything special and then it turns out to be an absolute gem?
~ ~ The plot is relatively simple, although the convolutions and twists in the storyline are not, keeping you guessing to the ultimate outcome right up to nearly the end of the movie ...
Advantages: The sound of heaven Disadvantages: Watered down beer
Blackpool: the weekend of the 19-21 July. A group of punks and skins begins to filter into Britain?s most famous seaside resort, amassing steadily outside the Winter Gardens complex. To anyone with frailties towards peculiar styles of dress this would most certainly have come as a shock as the striking difference in clothing and hairstyles could render even the most tolerant of people lost for words. However, the locals did not bat an eyelid and decided to join in the festivities by happily drinking and chatting amongst the visitors outside in the glorious sunshine. To have a range of people accepted so easily was astounding and there cannot be another single event that can have this effect: the phenomenon that is known as HolidaysIn The Sun.
The Winter Gardens complex had beforehand been frowned upon by last years festival revellers ...

Plot
Three features. In, 'Place In The Sun', George Stevens' lavish adaptation of this classic, Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor are cast as the star-crossed lovers. As George Eastman (Clift) hitchhikes into the town where a job awaits him at the factory of his affluent Uncle Charles (Herbert Heyes), the lovely Angela Vickers (Taylor) speeds by him. Although the job entails packing bathing suits all day, the young man works hard in his eagerness to get ahead. Driven by loneliness, he becomes involved with coworker Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters), a simple woman of limited appeal, in a relationship which defies company policy. After receiving a promotion, he's invited to a party at the home of the wealthy Vickers family, where he meets Angela, and the two quickly fall in love. While he and Angela continue to see each other, he is forced to continue his involvement with Alice, who threatens to get him fired by revealing their relationship. At the end of a whirlwind summer George and Angela receive the approval of her father (Sheppard Strudwick) on their marriage plans. Shortly thereafter, Alice informs George that she's pregnant with his child. Stevens transforms Theodore Dreiser's biting critique of America's caste system into a glossy romantic melodrama. Sumptuously photographed by William Mellor, who frames the almost inhumanly attractive couple in some of the most dizzyingly enraptured close-ups in movie history, the film features excellent performances by Shelley Winters and Clift, whose presence maintains an earnest, haunted passivity. Also includes 'Roman Holiday' and 'To Catch A Thief'.
