One night many years ago, I accidentally caught George Stevens' "A Place in the Sun"(1951) while watching TV in my parents' bedroom. It remains one of the most haunting movies I have ever seen.
![A Place in the Sun]()
A rich society girl (Elizabeth Taylor) falls in love with a stranger (Montgomery Clift) she meets at a family friend's house.
She loves him despite his being an ordinary blue-collar worker in a factory, not knowing he is already involved with another co-worker (Shelley Winters).
Their love is tested when the man is accused of murdering his pregnant girlfriend.
I can't tell you how may times I've seen it.

I feel like watching this again in honor of Elizabeth Taylor who died today at the age of 79.
May she rest in peace.
