Just bought and saw "The Heiress." Fantastic movie. Olivia de Havilland won the best actress Academy Award for this gem. Other than costume and set design, there were no special effects, no explosions or gunfire, no aliens or motherships, but I was riveted to my seat several times. I could feel the anguish of the father as he had to stomp the life out of her heart. I could feel her heart soar to great heights, then plummet to the rocks below without a bounce. The subtle test at the end. And the bittersweet end. What will happen to her now?
A few notes on the money. She already had the equivalent of 333K a year inheritance with the prospect of another cool 667K a year to come. That's a million a year in today's numbers.
Drop what you are doing and watch this.

One of the my favorite films lf all time for the acting.
I don't think Montgomery Clift is anything spectacular in the film although he is solid. Ralph Richardson is very good. His menacing/loving father role is very well done.
Unquestionably, the film is owned by Olivia de Havilland. Watch some of the close ups of her face in this movie. There are moments where you can see three or four emotions cross her face one right after the other. From excitement to uncertanty to sadness to pain to anger. Her performance is a masterpiece of acting. One of the most well deserved academy awards ever given.
What I really miss nowadays is subtilty. I'd love to see a blu ray release of this. I was nice to watch her face's expressions. I really liked how she gave him the ruby buttons and when he accepted them she new he was lying. This was never explained. I saw a shadow of this acting ability, of all places, in Super 8's Elle Fanning.
