The film stars Olivia de Havilland as Catherine Sloper, a naive young woman who falls in love with a handsome young man despite the objections of her emotionally abusive father who suspects the man of being a fortune hunter. Montgomery Clift stars as Morris Townsend, and Ralph Richardson as Dr. Sloper.
The Heiress stars Olivia de Havilland and is yet another triumph, an absorbing adaptation of a Broadway play adapted from Henry James' book Washington Square. Commercially, the film is a challenge. It takes place in the remote period of the late 1840s.
