The Heiress is the second movie in 3 weeks where producers tried to make Olivia de Havilland "ugly" to win an Oscar. De Havilland plays, rather unconvincingly, a wealthy young woman in the mid-1800s courted by a gold digging Montgomery Clift as the ur-f*ck boy, who runs away and abandons her the minute her abusive jerk of a dad threatens to take away her inheritance. Despite its many flaws, once she is allowed to be an actual adult in the last 20 minutes of the film, Hell hath no fury like Olivia de Havilland scorned, which just might be worth the preceding hour and a half… maybe.
