Clyde Griffiths, "an average young American with a typically American outlook on life," the nephew of a wealthy Lycurgus manufacturer, Samuel Griffiths, who is striving to establish himself in high society at any cost, begins an affair with his cousin's friend, 17-year-old Sondra Finchley, a wealthy heiress of another local manufacturer, a beautiful, spoiled, narcissistic representative of the city's "golden youth." Weary of his ongoing love affair with a simple factory worker, Roberta Alden, Clyde decides to put an end to the relationship with her with one blow - which will prove fatal for him...

"An American Tragedy" (1925) - based on real events, a criminal-legal story, a psychological drama and at the same time a harsh rebuke to the "American dream" - became the most famous novel by Theodore Dreiser and the plot basis for several feature films: from the classic Hollywood film versions by Josef von Sternberg (1931) and George Stevens (1951) to a free interpretation in "Match Point" (2005) by Woody Allen.
