The Heiress is a splendid job of recreating a century-old era and three characters thereof. William Wyler has made a fine film, avoiding the pitfalls of costume drama. Full Review

May 11, 2019
Rating: 4/4 -- The film works so well because those surging emotional currents, although often pushed just below the surface, give it a constant tension that draws you in like a thriller. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- More interesting for the things it leaves unsaid than the occasionally staid melodramatic story. Full Review

Rating: A- -- Wyler's superlative rendition of Henry James' novel Washington Square is meticulously mounted with great acting from Olivia De Havilland, Monty Clift, and particularly Ralph Richardson, dark-noirish lensing, and powerful score from Aaron Copeland. Full Review
