I love this movie. Poor Shelly though she was always the poor sad archetype of rejected woman. I saw this time a great many similarities between this movie and Woody Allens Match Point (also a fav) a few things are different but a few things struck me as a direct homage. I loved the slow suspense in A place in the Sun and the moment when he see's the glassy eyed child singing with his ministry parents. Blank and empty. And when his mother is sitting in the meeting house staring at his room. His room that she kept "just the way it was" since he was 13 - having to sleep in there and be there with all the vagrants and transients. He did not have a chance. I really believed he did not want his girlfriend to end up as she did. But who ever knows a man's heart.

Did you read the blurb about the book the film is based on at the bottom of the page? It's all about Naturalism....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment and reading the post! I do post love-related subjects but I would not say my blog is a romance blog. If you still want to link, let me know!VioletPlanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067707318964870807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732469422871322756.post-31466241185600414222009-02-14T17:32:00.000-08:002009-02-14T17:32:00.000-08:00It's beautiful, but I feel like I'm missing the po...It's beautiful, but I feel like I'm missing the point. Am I? Your post is formatted in a lovely way though. Want to exchange blog links? If yours is a romance blog, it'll go together well with mine.
