Om den här filmen

Widely considered one of the finest works of America cinema, Director George Steven’s masterwork features Montgomery Clift as George Eastman, determined to win a place in respectable society and the heart of a beautiful socialite (Elizabeth Taylor). Shelley Winters is the factory girl whose dark secret threatens Eastman’s professional and romantic prospects. This second Paramount Pictures adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY, which was itself based on a notorious true crime tale, was the first film to win the Golden Globe in the category of Best Picture—Drama, before winning six Academy Awards, including Best Director.

One of the best movies Hollywood put out. Great cast, directing, adapted screenplay, and awesome score by Franz Waxman. This is Liz Taylors first "adult" role, along with her first kiss and she is absolutely stunning in this movie! Also this movie began her friendship with Monty her co-star. Montgomery Clift is one of my top 5 method actors, up there with Daniel Day Lewis. Matchpoint is a sort of remake of this movie, they are both based on the novel "An American Tragedy" by Theo Dresier.
