I have been thinking about Monty Clift in "A Place in
the Sun"... why do we consider him the hero, when he
commits a crime? Why don't we feel pity for poor
Shelly Winters? Why do we justify his murder?
Very problematic film....

I really don't consider Clift the hero of A Place In The Sun, the film and
its original source is too complicated for such b&w observations. Clift is a
victim just as much as Winters is, and my heart felt pity for the two of
them.And maybe you justify his murder, I certainly don't. Lets not forget
that this film comes from a novel called "An American Tragedy."
