This happens twice in A Place In The Sun which I viewed yesterday on Bravo w/my sister. It happens initially when Clift and Taylor board her speedboat and the news is on the radio on the boat's dock you hear the newsreporter saying the body of a woman has been found but the roar of the boat silences any further ideniftication of the suspect.Then later when Taylor and Clift are caught speeding in her car and she is pulled over, the radio in her car is on and the reporter is giving specifics of the suspect(which is Clift) but any distinguishing characteristics are removed by the officer gently warning Taylor about her speeding. Clift is keeping a low profile and is attempting to listen to the broadcast w/o calling attention to himself. In both instances I don't think it is for suspense; for me, its the guilt that insteeps Clift and his fear of his "other"life becoming known to the woman he really loves,especially in light of the fact that he is eventually wrongly accused of the felonious drowning of the woman ;is wrongly convicted,sentenced to death in the electric chair and dies for it.A Place is based on Dreiser's An American Tragedy which itselfs is based on an actualevent from 1928-1929.Hope this helps! ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
