The Heiress: Review

An American masterpiece. This powerful and compelling drama, adapted from the successful Broadway play based on Henry James's Washington Square, owes its triumph to the deft hand of director William Wyler and a remarkable lead performance by Olivia de Havilland.

The stirring score is by Aaron Copland. Read the complete review for The Heiress
