| | Tropic of Cancer |
 | | Like those two unassailable works, Henry Miller's once-banned, now-legendary Tropic of Cancer was considered "unfilmable" by many but in 1970 Strick took a shot at translating it too, and the film is now seeing a re-release paired with Bernardo Bertolucci's once-banned, now-legendary Last Tango in Paris. |
 | | While the tone and temperament of Miller's tale is retained, Tropic of Cancer is really a book to be savored at the turn of each page, not viewed as a cinematic treatment or interpretation. |
 | | Credited as Ellen McRae, Tropic of Cancer was an early film role for her (hence, presumably, her rare display of nakedness), one which came right before her big break as the female lead in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show. |
