A short season of films featuring Britain's knights of the stage in some of their most distinguished film performances. Tonight starring Laurence Olivier with Jennifer Jones and Eddie Albert

In the early 1900s young Carrie Meeber leaves her poor Missouri home to live and work in Chicago. Here she meets George Hurstwood, a handsome middle-aged restaurant manager. It proves to be a fateful meeting...
This film version of Theodore Dreiser's famous novel is dominated by Olivier's brilliantly controlled performance which was described by critic Richard Winnington as 'the finest acting of his career.'
