Loosely based on the 1925 novel (and subsequent stage play) ''An American Tragedy'' by Theodore Dreiser, ''[[{{PAGENAME}}]]'' tells the story of a working-class young man ([[Montgomery Clift]]) who becomes involved with two women: one who works in his wealthy uncle's factory ([[Shelley Winters]]) and the other a beautiful socialite ([[Elizabeth Taylor]]), with eventually tragic consequences. Directed by [[George Stevens]] from a screenplay by Harry Brown and Michael Wilson, it was a critical and commercial success, winning six [[Academy Award]]s. Modern audiences have not been as impressed with the production, aside from the performances of the lead actors, finding it slow-paced and lacking in depth or social relevance. |
