The Heiress
"The Heiress" received universal critical acclaim. Bosley Crowther for "The New York Times" wrote that the film "crackles with allusive life and fire in its tender and agonized telling of an extraordinarily characterful tale" and added Wyler "has given this somewhat austere drama an absorbing intimacy and a warming illusion of nearness that it did not have on the stage. He has brought the full-bodied people very closely and vividly to view, while maintaining the clarity and sharpness of their personalities, their emotions and their styles..."The Heiress" is one of the handsome, intense and adult dramas of the year."
