Carrie is a 1952 American drama film directed by William Wyler and starring Jennifer Jones and Laurence Olivier. The script is based on the novel Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser.
Production
The original novel Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser was controversial when it was first published in 1900, and when Paramount Pictures first asked for Motion Picture Production Code approval in 1935, the book was rejected. Rights to the book were transferred to Warner Bros. and then to Columbia Pictures and RKO Radio Pictures, but none could acquire approval.
Director William Wyler acquired the rights in 1947 and asked Lillian Hellman and then Arthur Miller to adapt the novel for the screen, but neither was available. Wyler hired Ruth and Augustus Goetz to write the screenplay and added the character of Hurstwood's upstanding business partner in an effort to secure Production Code approval. The Breen Office demanded the excision of Hurstwood's suicide from the script, but Wyler refused.
Wyler asked producer David O. Selznick for assistance with the script, titled Carrie Ames, and Selznick envisioned the title role as a vehicle for his wife, actress Jennifer Jones. He sent Wyler many script suggestions, titles and ideas for leading men, including Laurence Olivier. Wyler interested Olivier in the part after having offered it to Cary Grant.
Wyler had initially tried to recruit Elizabeth Taylor for the female lead, but MGM refused, and Ava Gardner and Jeanne Crain were also considered. Selznick was upset that other actresses were courted, believing that Jones had already won the role. Jones was formally announced as the female lead in June 1951.
The production of the film was troubled, as Jones was pregnant, Wyler was grieving the loss of his infant son and Olivier was in pain and hated working with Jones. Selznick frequently complained to Wyler that he was overworking Jones.
