The real story, is more tragic Chester Gillette was no Eastman

Shelly Winters received a best actress Oscar nomination for this role. Later, won twice for best supporting actress: The Diary of Ann Frank and A Patch of Blue.

In the scene where he sees her for the first time... he is instantly in love. He will do anything for her. He kinda did. 😮 Course I'm sure it helped a lot that he loved Taylor as much as he was able to.

She was 18 I think.

Yes and regrettably if they were to remake it nowadays it would have scenes of him having sex with the two women . I like the way the older movies were classier .

Based on a true story, sort of Chester Gillette, Grace Brown.. An American Tragedy Between 1900-1910 Chesters uncle enrolled him in college..he dropped out He got Grace pregnant Then, he went with a bankers daughter Who wasn't pretty, but had money... opposite of Angela What's also odd Chester would be into photography And take his Kodak camera (Eastman) Grace was Alice Tripp He Tripped from getting the 😇 ANGEL..who has a vicar for a father🤔 Chester Gillette used a tennis racket to kill Grace Brown George, wasn't cruel, like Chester Everything else in movie matches...

I like Shelley too she portrays a regular blue collar girl so well

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks. 😊

geez I was looking & looking getting quit frustrated NO ITS NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL & IT IS SH*T NOT TO HAVE THE FULL MOVIE!

Thanks! for half an upload. There is no part 2.

❤thanks

It is Elizabeth at the this, at this moment. That gorgeous face is unforgettable, sheer magic.

"Big boy´s don´t cry...big boy´s don´t cry"

Big girls certainly do! They cry because they don't like being fat.

They both were talented actors, and had a beautiful presence on film, individually and collectively.

@@carmenmarie5975 We need to remember that Shelley Winters was playing blonde bombshells before George Stevens gave her this incredible character part which she won an Oscar for. People keep dissing her looks and focusing on Taylor and Clift, which diminishes what a subtly shaded performance she gives here, because they want to identity with the plight of the two glamorous stars.

Incredible chemistry

@@jennymacallan9071 yeee homo and callgirl

Have you ever seen then in Suddenly, Last Summer? They're outstanding there

The guy’s an opportunistic jerk.

To be fair, he didn't actually do it in factory.

​@@TheKeggie😂

OK Thank You!😅

Typical guy. Can’t resist 🐱

Wow - great memories, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great movie but left me feeling so sad and upset when I saw it for the first time when I was maybe 10 or 11 .

Since American Tragedy, happened End of summer

He's walking on wrong side of the street, with Alice tripp

It was based on a true story However, they changed the names.. Changing Grace browns name, to Alice tripp Grace Brown was actually pretty He tripped getting Angela Vickers (angel/priest) Montgomery cliff Looked like Chester Gillette

We don't have life 4ever. Ask George, Monty or Dame Elizabeth.

Really ashame the copyright people removed it . Sometimes people will upload movies in segments that are less than 10 minutes long and I don't know maybe you could try looking to see if somebody did that here ?

Me 2

George Eastman was nicer than Chester Gillette

Where’s Part 2 of A Place in the Sun?? I’ve seen Part 1 three times in the last day - I loved the book (An American Tragedy) & this movie with Clift/Taylor/Winters does it complete & total Justice …. This movie really IS AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY… all about money/power/place … just taking what you want (or feel can be yours if it’s at all within your reach & you’re encouraged - or feel entitled to, at all

She's always the victim of a water tragedy. The Posiden Adventure ", "He ran all the way " but she didn't die in that one.

@@thankthelord4536 From I can't swim to Swimming champion. Progress

Lol, yeah, how bout that! She should've never been around water. That's like three films. Unless you count the film, "Lolita" where she got killed by a car in the pouring rain. Lol 😅😉👍

I never knew that this is based on a true story except the real guy in the story was the rich son of the wealthy owners

Called the Gillette murder .

Chester Gillette was horrible George Eastman wasn't as bad, but based on him It was set 50 years ago in early 1900s

She was a pretty child as well

Lucky you.. my son lives in San Diego and he says it’s paradise 😊

This is a “story” based on a real live event that took place in the Lake Tahoe area back in the 1920s … and Angela even talks about it (a bit more into the film) w George when they spend a little time on the shores of the lake (he brings the towels & she’s in her swimsuit … and you can see Monty’s eyes trained on the story Angela’s telling him while she’s describing more about Loon Lake … the sound the loons are making … & the rickety old boats …) because it’s where she’d been going (to Loon Lake) ever since she was 14-> remember-: Angela Had Lived Up There All Her Life, so she knew its history … & she’s telling George/Monty all this because she’s (unknowingly) creating a creepy backstory as to why there’s something luring the George Eastman character into fulfilling playing HIS role to complete the story … it’s so amazingly done … Angela’s telling George (the man she wants to marry) why he should be more interested in this very disturbing background story of a lake that’s going to be the mis-en scene for the (later) drowning of Alice Tripp … her unbeknownst-to-her rival, bc Alice Tripp stands in Angela’s way of marrying George … & this piece of the story will (or could) help clear her path … but Angela doesn’t know she’s doing this … it’s just a literary contrivance. Thanks guys/everyone … I need to read AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY again !! I’ve seen this movie c. 6-8 times & learn more about it each time. I think I should probably read the book again … like it’s t So this is more than just Theodore Dreiser’s renowned 1925 novel; it’s a piece of early California historical fiction … there had been a real live long-ago gruesome murder up in too beautiful a setting almost to be believed … which is also what makes the story so haunting So …. That lake was actually Lake Tahoe; it was filmed there. There’s even a lake very nearby Tahoe, called “Loon Lake.” A few friends & I went up there in 1987 (unintentionally) & it was very bizarre to see it then … it really did look very much like Loon Lake in the movie ->A Place in theSun. And people!! YOU ALL who loved this movie should also definitely read the fabulous (1925) novel by Theodore Dreiser ((AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY)) uponwhich A PLACE IN THE SUN was based … An exceptional piece of fiction has a greater chance of lasting longer on film if it’s written by someone who can tell The Great Tragedy … & that exactly what PLACE IN THE SUN WAS … Not one (of the top 3 actors) WASN’T touched by a major tragedy that tore their lives from them … But if you really take the story apart, you can see that George Eastman was the “character” who did the most (if not all) of the “manipulating” of the 3 - bc he held the “Strings” that moved the puppets, while Alice /Shelley W & Angela /Elizabeth T merely reacted. The pregnant Alice Tripp is drowned in the boat by George Eastman (who, belatedly in the story, falls in love with the beautiful rich Angela) & George gets the electric chair for drowning Alice … (he @ least comes halfway clean during his trial, saying “@ first I wanted to drown her, but then I changed my mind …” … Angela /the always unbelievably beautiful Elizabeth Taylor can only remain at a distance & being her vacuous self because o.w. she can’t develop enough of a spine, to change the story enough to give it any other meaning or sense … Each of those 3 character’s personas are never larger than their own lives; they’re never curious about anyone 59:34 else’s, nor do they ever want to know

Chester Gillette wasn't as nice as George Eastman

This is noir

you can,t

The DRIFTER'S There was even a group called that

It's actually based on a true story ... but people say the character in the book was not as innocent and humble as Montgomery Clift's character . The guy's name was something like Charles Gillett .

Supposedly in the true story the way her head was damage they believe he bashed her head and several times maybe with a tennis racket before she drowned .

George Eastman wasn't as bad, as Chester Gillette

I got the video, a long time ago.

Oh that’s just Rude!

Drat!

Some people have been able to successfully put movies up here by putting them in less than 10 minutes segments ... and as soon as the one segment ends , it almost seamlessly does the next segment without you having to look for it . You might want to try that sometime ? I would love to see the movie with Walter Matthau called A New Leaf . I saw it decades ago as a kid and it was a good dark comedy .

Kevin another way I've seen people fool the copyright bot is they upload the movie with the title in a foreign language ... usually Spanish . I can't recall which movie I saw that way ... but it was here on the tube .

God rarely balances things out in an individual life, as this world will show you, when you put down the rosy clored glasses.

@@franek_izerski God lets his sun shine on good and bad people, HE is not as pathetic as melodrama. His ways are not our ways

@@franek_izerski if you say God does not balance things out, then you really dont know Him, you are blind as can be guessed by your arrogant answer

Good question! Maybe it's still being uploaded?

@@Mariajkelly29it’s been a year idk they might upload it

Part 2, was basically the court case And execution

@@kathleenking47 yeah but why isn’t part 2 uploaded

@@musicalgenius02 iDK..I didn't even know, this movie was even up for free..PICNIC is up though I have a love/hate with picnic, and this movie I love the dance scenes...🤗

Love James Dean, but this part was Monty's just as the part of Prewitt in From here to Eternity was his. He was a great actor and great looking. He is one of my favorite actors of all times.

Your right it was Monty's portayal of Prewittt that lead me to Dean and Brando and their style of acting which struck a cord with me as a rebeiious teenager,@@hannejeppesen1809

James Dean didn't look as much like Chester Gillette

Okay?

yes

Still the same today

Grace Brown wasn't as plain as Alice Tripp

Man, isn't that the truth. And believe it or not, there were people like that.

​@Jeff-uj8xi they are still around.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right. The rich are all about the 💰.

Are they both skeletons now?

The poor also kill each other and their children. The poor are so often commented about as if they are saints and in certain positions through no fault of their own. Reality check please.

I never knew that! How interesting. Would've been a better story. And it would've made more sense why his cousin never promoted Goerge until his father walked by and asked what a smart man who was family was still doing in a low-end, low-level entry job instead of moving up and progressing in a manner that fit his skills and intelligence (i.e. the report he wrote to make changes in some parts of the business to make it more effective) and he his excuse was that his father said no favoritism.

what a bizarre comment to make!

The old book is called American Tradegy
