Short description
Dull and plain Catherine lives with her emotionally distant father, Dr. Sloper, in 1840s New York. Her days are empty — filled with little more than needlepoint. Enter handsome Morris Townsend, a dashing social climber with his eye on the spinster's heart and substantial inheritance.

- Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) was so disappointed with the film that he left the premiere.
- In an attempt to make Olivia de Havilland look exhausted in one scene, director William Wyler filled two suitcases with books and forced the actress to carry them up the stairs.
