George (played by Montgomery Clift) is a child from a poor family. Full of ambition, he travels a long distance to a big city to seek refuge with his uncle, hoping to achieve great things there. In the factory, George met a female worker named Alice (played by Shelley Winters), and it wasn't long before the two got together. The appearance of Angela (played by Elizabeth Taylor), a rich girl, disrupted George's peaceful life. Caught between two beautiful women and faced with morality and interests, George didn't know how to choose. The news that Alice was pregnant made George have the intention to kill her. He invited her to meet on a small boat, attempting to fake a shipwreck accident. But just as he was about to take action, the remaining conscience in his heart made it difficult for George to continue. Just then, the ship really capsized. Alice died of drowning, and George was thus embroiled in a scandal.[Collapse]
