Young up-and-comer George Eastman is thrust into the blue collar life of a rich uncle's family business where he's expected to learn the ropes from the bottom up. While paying his dues, Eastman becomes involved with Alice Tripp, a simple, trusting girl on the assembly line. When Eastman is finally introduced to high society he meets the gorgeous, sophisticated Angela Vickers and promptly forgets all about Alice. Only Alice won't be gotten rid of so easily.

Release date: 9 November 1951

"“Their scenes together, their dance scenes, the close-ups – sometimes you almost want to look away, they’re so powerful. You feel like a real voyeur, like you’ve gone over the line.” - Molly Haskell “Shelley Winters is wonderful in this movie and this really elevated her to star status. It changed the whole course of her career…. And people should watch for Elizabeth Taylor doing a faint, I think it’s the best faint ever done on film. She walks into a room and literally collapse"
