About The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing
Broadway showgirl Evelyn Nesbit is the object of affection of two men: playboy architect Stanford White and the wealthy but unstable Harry Thaw. Nesbit marries Thaw, but White’s continued pursuit puts him in the path of Thaw’s volatile temper. A fictionalized account of true events that occurred at the turn of the 20th century.
Directed by Richard Fleischer, The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing leans on a strong ensemble — Ray Milland, Joan Collins, Farley Granger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1955.
