George Eastman (Montgomery Clift) is a young and poor working-class man from the Midwest who travels to California to start a new life working for his wealthy industrialist uncle. In the factory, he meets Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters), and together they choose to defiantly break workplace rules about romantic relationships among co-workers. Although previously excluded from high-society life, Eastman quickly finds himself ascending the ranks of the corporate ladder, where he soon meets and falls head-over-heels in love with socialite Angela Vickers (Elizabeth Taylor), and an emotional and tragic love triangle results. Based on Theodore Dreiser’s novel An American Tragedy, A Place in the Sun was the first of three films that good friends Taylor and Clift would eventually make together, including Raintree County (1957) and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959).
