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."
