The Heiress

Olivia deHavilland, Ralph Richardson, Montgomery Clift

Brilliant adaptation of the Henry James story Washington Square...from 1949. OdH was at her very best...acting with her whole body...her extremely expressive face changing as her character's arc developed. She won the oscar and deserved it.

Sumptuous production with great sets, costumes (Edith Head) and supporting players. This was among the best of old hollywood...a true classic.
