"The Heiress" - Amazing acting all way round.. They killed it, can't improve on that one.... nope, not one bit! The host did add that Errol Flynn turned down the role, it would've been his and Olivia's 9th film together.... Still, Monty wasn't half bad!

A great film with simply wonderful performances all around, courtesy of the brilliant William Wyler. (And a stunning set that per the fascinating book Celluloid Skyline is an extremely accurate reproduction of a wealthy single-family NYC brownstone of the period.) I'd argue that Clift was actually a far better choice for Morris than Flynn: he projects a weakness and unclear intent that would have come off as more obviously self-serving from Flynn.
For an interesting comparison, check out Washington Square (1997) with Jennifer Jason Leigh as Catherine, Albert Finney as Dr. Sloper, and Ben Chaplin as Morris.
"Morris... Morris! MORRIS!"
