A review by kahale
An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser

3.0

A young man wants to socially climb but he also starts dating a girl at the factory where he works. He gets the factory girl pregnant and 'accidently' drowns her in a lake in the Adirondacks. It kept nagging me where I had heard this storyline before when I realized it was the movie A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters.
