Carrie is a 1952 feature film based on the novel Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser.
Directed by William Wyler, the film stars Jennifer Jones in the title role and Laurence Olivier as Hurstwood. Carrie received two Academy Award Nominations: Costume Design, (Edith Head) and Best Art Direction. Additionally, Laurence Olivier received a BAFTA nomination for his performance.
The movie should not be confused with Stephen King's novel of the same name, nor with Brian De Palma's 1976 film version Carrie, which is not a remake of Wyler's movie.
