This brilliant small scaled film is a domestic tragedy, utterly devastating in its own quiet way. It is the story of a shy, naive young heiress who is as loving as she is unloved. The film mercilessly details the terrible events which result in the destruction of her ability to love. If that makes it seem depressing, dismiss the thought. However painful it might be to bear witness to such harrowing acts of emotional cruelty, in the end, this superbly well acted, directed and written film proves deeply humanizing, invoking in us anew the necessity to act with kindness, generosity and above, with love.

I don't agree with you. The destruction of her ability to love? Small scaled film? Please watch the film again and perhaps you'll understand that getting rid of such greedy parasite does not affect her ability to love. She is intelligent, wise and strong enough to win over her father by not saying goodby to him and over the greedy fellow by not letting him into her love and home again. She is the winner.

@beautiful- I disagree. The era is the mid 1800s. He was acting not only in accordance with his duties as a father, but it seemed quite obvious to me that her rejection of him was the result of his sickness and death, which would lead me to believe it broke his heart that he did what he had to do to protect her. Love is not always saying yes. He saved her from financial ruin. She should be praising him, not infer that he was a master of cruelty.

I don't quite agree about why Catherine turns against her father. The father may have thought he was practicing tough love when he told Catherine that her inheritance was the only attractive thing about her. Her takeaway was that he despised her and considered her unlovable. She was quite proud of telling Morris that she wanted nothing more to do with her father and his money. Even after she learned he was right about Morris, she continued to believe that they could have been happy if her father had not interfered, and that he did so not to protect her so much as to prove that he was right. Another tragic parent/child misunderstanding. (Shylock also thought he was protecting his daughter from harm; look what happened to him.) @@tet43

@@tet43 Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. It is better to be in love with a man and let her find out for herself if he was sincere than for a father to pretty much tell her that she has no loveable qualities. In the end, they hurt each other with the truth and she becomes a very bitter loner and he dies alone. I believe she would have been better off if her father never interfered with the very handsome gold-digger with Montgomery Clift's stunning looks!!

+Johnny Pastrana It is well to remember that this father hates his daughter. He may not know that it's the case, but this hatred is real and permeates every thought he has about her. I don't think Miss Slooper is weak, says Morris, and he is right about this; the father, wrong, of course. And it is her unbending will which makes her a true tragic figure in the end. This film, under William Wyler's scrupulous direction is something near perfection. It is almost unbearably moving and yet, still uplifting... a combination of effects that only art can produce.

2:98 - 3:01. This is pure self-hatred on Dr. Sloper's part. Because Catherine has been miserable living with him all these years, he thinks that with whom she ever lived, she will be miserable. Sloper is like a man blindingly riding a horse, holding the reins of his daughter's life. He's one of the most screwed up men in modern literature.

Morris seemed to be an amiable gold digger. What's the big deal that he chose her for the money? She was flattered and excited by his attention because of his good looks and charm. They both had something valuable to offer and seemed to generally like each other. Doesn't this set up usually work with the unattractive, wealthy older man trading comfort and security for the woman's elegance and looks. Many fine marriages have started this way and grown into deep love. A little humor and wit between Morris and Catherine would have gone a long way in bringing honesty to their situation. That would have allowed room for real love and respect to develop. The tragedy was the father stealing her dignity and rubbing her nose in it. Very cruel and unnecessary. Why could he not see the wealth as a gift that improved her prospects? A little Jane Austen practicality was needed.

Because in those days there were no prenups, and a woman’s family inheritance belonged to her husband. There would be nothing to prevent Morris squandering her fortune, gambling or having mistresses, and divorce was out of the question. Dr. Sloper is wise and recognizes a slick opportunist - one who praises an unremarkable girl for virtues she does not possess.

If Morris were an honorable man who really loved her perhaps. But he proves he’s only out for her fortune. She is a lonely and vulnerable girl blinded by his looks and flattering attentions to her. If they were to marry her money becomes his, to dispose of as he wishes. No protections for women in the 19th century.

this kind of makes no sense. although his daughter is awkward and is actually socially enept, and all she can do is the embroidery, he has tried everything with her. But most of all he sees a vulture coming for his daughter. What if a man with means but some what on her level courted her, he would have been fine with that. He knew that Morris was at the dance to seek out the weak. So it is 2 dichotomies going on. He is protecting his daughter and his riches from a slickster and love has nothing to do with it.
