Add a CommentIn this dynamic and ambitious remake of "An American Tragedy", the overall power that drives this compelling story to its tragic finale comes straight from its 3 principal players, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters, and Montgomery Clift.... When viewed by today's standards, the depiction of the idle rich and American morals as they were back in the late 1940s are certainly a curious novelty of sorts, all on their own.
A story about a good boy who made bad choices. Elizabeth Taylor is beautiful, Shelley Winters does simpering very well. Montgomery Clift is an incredible actor. This one is definitely worth viewing.
