A host of Hollywood greats, including Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Montgomery Clift, appear in three classic films from the early 1950s. A Place in the Sun (George Stevens, 1951, 121 mins.) is based on Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy. Clift stars as a poor boy driven by the lure of wealth, with his success threatened by complications from his simultaneous affairs with a factory girl and a socialite. Elizabeth Taylor co-stars. Roman Holiday (William Wyler, 1953, 118 mins.) is a classic Hollywood love story starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, about a rebellious princess who runs away to discover the joys of independent living and embarks on a romance with a reporter. Finally, To Catch a Thief (Alfred Hitchcock, 1955, 106 mins.) is a suspenseful but light-hearted George Stevens/William Wyler/Alfred Hitchcock---USA---1951-1955---345 mins.
