Theodore Dreiser's dissection of the American dream, An American
Tragedy, was hailed as the greatest novel of its generation. Now a
classic of American literature, the story is one to which Hollywood
has repeatedly returned.Hollywood's obsession with this tale of
American greed, justice, religion and sexual hypocrisy stretches
across the history of cinema. Some of cinema's greatest directors -
Sergei Eisenstein, Josef von Sternberg and George Stevens - have
attempted to bring this classic story to the screen. Subsequently,
both Jean-Luc Godard and Woody Allen have returned to the story and
to these earlier adaptations.Hollywood's American Tragedies is the
first detailed study of this extraordinary sequence of adaptations.
What it reveals is a history of Hollywood - from its politics to
its cinematography - and, much deeper, of American culture and the
difficulty of telling an American tragedy in the land of the
American dream.
