The Heiress Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A deft psychological drama powered by superlative performances.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
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.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Though it had a poor box office upon its release, it eventually became recognized as a masterpiece.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
[A]n outstanding literary adaptation and a superb example of Hollywood fare at its most intelligent and sharply honed.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
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.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
More interesting for the things it leaves unsaid than the occasionally staid melodramatic story.

Tim Dirks
The Heiress (1949), as the theatrical poster declared, is "a truly great motion picture" - a bleak tale of crushed, heartbroken expectations and incisively-harsh retribution. The top-line, prestige production was directed by William Wyler...

Bob Thomas
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.

Her transformation was so surprising! Very entertaining
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
The reputation of this exceedingly fine film has continued to grow as the decades have rolled on, and the performances of a strong cast certainly deserve much of that credit.
