We’re dipping back into the Henry James-adaptation pool with William Wyler’s Olivia de Havilland vehicle The Heiress, based on Washington Square. Making this a period piece featuring a kind of funhouse love triangle where neither the dashing if penniless Morris (Montgomery Cliff) nor her father Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson) seem to love Catherine (de Havilland’s titular heiress) who must suffer as stubborn men and fate conspire to leave her lonely and heartbroken.
If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be ACTUALLY be watching Kon Ichikawa’sTokyo Olympiad(1965), no matter what Randy says this episode.
