As a literary study in stark realism and exposition of animal passions running wild, the novel has considerable merit. . As a screen proposition, An American Tragedy, with its shameless wallowings in the sex gutters, its debauchery and insistent dwelling on the baser sides of human nature, would seem impossible of conversion into anything resembling wholesome or appealing entertainment for the majority of picture followers
