	The Heiress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Heiress is a 1949 film which tells the story of two young people who want to marry despite the girl's father's objections.
		Catherine Sloper (Olivia de Havilland), the heiress of the title is a plain, painfully shy girl whose emotionally detached father (Ralph Richardson) makes no secret of his disappointment in her.
		When she meets the charming Morris Townsend (Montgomery Clift), she is immediately taken by the attention that he lavishes upon her - attention she so desperately seeks from her father.

	Theatre Mirror Reviews - "The Heiress"
		For "The Heiress" John Malinowski has light flooding in through elegantly tall windows into Janie Fliegel's stair-case dominated 1850 parlor with marble-parquetted floors, through which Andrew Polezak's hoop-skirts and Troy Sigfried's wigs glide with an understated opulence.
		Ruth and Augustus Goetz fashioned this solidly well-made play out of Henry James' novel "Washington Square" in which, with impeccably elegant manners, the three principals are either thoughtlessly or connivingly or vindictively cruel to one another with never a drop of blood shed, though their lives are devastated by it all.
		It is when this worm slowly turns, slicing both the men in her life to the bone in reprisal, that the play really catches fire.

	Our 1999-2000 Season: The Heiress
		The Heiress is a timeless and compelling story of loneliness, love, betrayal, revenge and redemption.
		Set in New York’s elitist Washington Square district in 1850, The Heiress shows that, where love is concerned, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
		Townsend could be the knight in shining armor who will rescue Catherine from a stifling, loveless home, or he could be the most cunning of wolves in the sleekest of sheep’s clothing.

	ATC & Berkeley Repertory Theatre's "The Heiress" at the Heberger
		The Heiress, a 1947 adaptation of his dark, nearly malicious work Washington Square proved to be successful.
		This tale of a plain woman living under the tyrannical eye of her bitter Doctor father and trying to find a life of love and happiness for herself without buying it is rich and tragic when performed perfectly.

	The Heiress ('49) - GC Film Series, spring 2001
		Olivia de Havilland won her second Academy Award for The Heiress, and it was well deserved, for this hardworking, sincere actress gave one of her most thoughtful performances in this screen version of the Ruth and Augustus Goetz play, with screenplay also by the Goetzes, based on Henry James's Washington Square.
		She is an heiress - she has $10,000 a year from her late mother and will receive another $20,000 on her father's death ($30,000 a year was considered immensely rich in 1850) and by all the rules should have been courted by a parade of young aristocrats reaching around the block.
		The Heiress is romance at its disciplined finest--romance essentially desentimentalized, realistic, aware--yet not without its special brand of mourning tenderness and heartbreak.

		His indulgences are fancy cowboy boots, golf, fine tequila, and modern art, and he makes no secret of having political aspirations at home.
		She is one of Latin America's richest and most powerful women, a Mexican heiress who controls Grupo Modelo, which brews Corona beer, and whose family fortune weighs in somewhere around $1.5 billion.
		Her grandfather, who was broke when he arrived from Spain, founded the company, and she amazed Mexico's hyper-macho corporate elite when she fought successfully to keep it in the family after her father died in 1995.

	KDHX Theatre Review - The Heiress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Suggested by Henry James's 1880 novel Washington Square, the play by Ruth and Augustus Goetz demonstrates the negatives of her present and prospective inheritances to the shy, awkward Catherine, who has never been able to fulfill her wealthy, widowed father's expectations.
		Picky sticking points that draw unfavorable attention when everything else is so suitable include the ladies' lack of underpinning that expose bare legs and the color and texture of several glove choices, especially the stiff, well-worn work gloves prominently displayed as supposed evidence of Townsend's expensive tastes.
		The Heiress has power to absorb through November 16 [2002] in Xavier Hall on the campus of St. Louis University.

	The Heiress
		Set in mid-1800 New York City, The Heiress tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a shy and plain young woman who falls desperately in love with a delightful young fortune hunter.
		The dramatic question is will Catherine be ruled by her father or will she follow her heart into a marriage with a man who may not be worthy of her love.
		The Heiress is based on the Henry James's novel, Washington Square.

		I have come to understand that such issues of control could explain much of our whole human history, but I will leave it up to you, the audience, to decide what expression of catherine's "inner spirit" she achieves at the end.
		The Heiress, by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, is based on the Henry James novel "Washington Square." This classic tale of love and betrayal centers around the socially awkward and painfully shy spinster Catherine, who in 1850 stands to inherit a tidy sum.
		When the handsome but penniless Morris Townsend begins to woo her, Catherine's suspicious father, bitter over his wife's death and at Catherine's inability to live up to her mother's reputation, cruelly insists that she is not worthy of true love and threatens to disinherit her.

	Claire Delacroix's The Heiress
		Ibernia herself proclaims Bronwyn of Ballyroyal to be the most eligible bachelorette in all of Erin and pretends that she will help the knight to win the girl's hand.
		The youngest of the de Montvieux brothers and the last to be wed, Rowan, and the multi-faceted Ibernia are two of her most intriguing characters, ones which you won't want to let go of at the close of this delightful book!
		"The Heiress" merits the distinction as my favorite of all of Delacroix's charming historical romances, and is one that I will gladly enjoy reading again.

	Taming the Heiress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Beautiful Meg MacNeill never thought of herself as an heiress, let alone one of the richest, most eligible women in all of Scotland.
		Her humble upbringing in the Western Isles, and her secret child--born of a magical night and a mysterious man--make her role in glittering Edinburgh Society as Lady Strathlin seem unlikely, even dangerous.
		There's also plenty of interesting and fascinating historical descriptions about lighthouses and lighthouse architecture, as well as the local flora, fauna and wildlife of the story's setting, but when you can't get characters to connect or feed into each other, it tends to slow and bog down the rest of the story.

	Set in Their Ways
		If I hadn’t seen the superb Broadway revival of The Heiress five years ago, with the magnificent Cherry Jones (who won a Tony for her performance), I’d have assumed that what was wrong on stage was the play, not the production.
		Nuance, implication, innuendo, the barest suggestion of gesture which speaks volumes, conveyed by the merest lift of an eyebrow, the most fleeting touch of a hand: This is the Jamesian world which can raise melodrama to a rarefied sphere.
		The action consists mainly of people sitting down and then standing up and then sitting down again (often in the most unlikely, unrealistic ways as if the thing to be avoided at all cost is that somebody has his or her back to the audience).

		It was one of those rewarding nerve-tingling experiences when a tensioned production held its listeners with such consistent power that a packed-house audience was held in total breathless silence.
		'The Heiress' is a brilliant adaptation of Henry James' novel, 'Washington Square', a drama of betrayal and ruthless retribution with the rolling, inevitable heartbreak of Greek tragedy.
		Alan Howard as Dr. Sloper, father of heiress Catherine, has an insidious authority, yet there is something disturbingly suggestive in his cruel care for his daughter.

		He may very well be as mercenary as Doctor Sloper accuses, or he may humanely have concluded that it is better to dump Catherine at the mock alter of the Sloper door than to risk leaving her destitute.
		The closing scene in which Catherine orders her maid 'Bolt the door, Maria,' shows that the passing of time has done more to harden her heart against a man who just may be as greedy as charged--or perhaps his earlier explanation that he wished not to impoverish her may be true.
		When she defends her decision to seek revenge against Morris, Catherine replies coldly, that of cruelty, 'I have been taught by masters.' The bolting of the door is the symbolic equivalent of the closing of her heart.

	Theater News - Reviews: The Heiress -
		A perfect example of this is the current Roundtable Ensemble revival of Ruth & Augustus Goetz's The Heiress.
		Washington Square was published in 1880 and the original Broadway production of The Heiress opened at the Biltmore Theatre in 1947; but human nature hasn't changed in the intervening decades and, therefore, this wonderfully well written play is timeless.
		If you've never seen The Heiress, you owe it to yourself to take the opportunity to do so now; and if you're familiar with the play, you should go to marvel at how satisfyingly it has been staged on a shoestring budget.

		James, like Edith Wharton, was a great observer of upper class New York society, where one's position could be likened to a game of backgammon.
		In The Heiress a man wants to marry a wealthy, plain woman, and she falls in love with him, a charming yet idle man. Love and power come to a head with social position always the undercurrent.
		The answer is as ambiguous as human nature.
