Chinatown Afternoon Movie presents: The Heiress 

Synopsis:  A graceful drawing-room drama and piercing character study driven by emotional uncertainty and lacerating cruelty, William Wyler's film, starring Montgomery Clift and Olivia de Havilland (in an Oscar-winning turn), is classic Hollywood filmmaking at its most psychologically nuanced.

NR, 115 mins., 1949. Subtitles in English.
