Short description
An ambitious young man wins an heiress's heart but has to cope with his former girlfriend's pregnancy.
What's left behind the scenes
- A film adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s (1871-1945) novel “An American Tragedy” (1925).
- Director George Stevens (1904-1975) believed that Gloria Grahame (1922-1981) would be perfect for the role of Alice and personally called the actress with the offer. RKO studio owner Howard Hughes (1905-1976) refused to release Grahame.
- Before filming the execution scene of his character, Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) spent a night in the death row unit at San Quentin Prison.
- Before execution in the electric chair, the condemned have their heads shaved. When George is led to the electric chair, it is visible that his head has not been shaved.
- A film adaptation of the true story of Chester Gillette, who murdered his pregnant girlfriend in 1906. He was tried in 1908, found guilty, and executed. It is said that the ghost of Gillette’s victim, Grace Brown, still haunts the house in New York State where she once lived.
