Based on Henry James’s novel Washington Square, this film follows Olivia de Havilland as Catherine, the plain, reclusive daughter of the wealthy and tyrannical Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson). Montgomery Clift is the handsome and cunning Morris Townsend who courts Catherine, although her father considers him a fortune-seeking scoundrel. They reunite after her father dies, and the film’s final scene is chilling and memorable. Her powerful, nuanced performance earned de Havilland her second Academy Award.
