Tropic of Cancer is based on the scandalous and widely banned 1934 NoveI by Henry Miller about bIatantly promiscuous expatriates in 1930s Paris. Three years after adapting James Joyce's Ulysses for the big screen, Joseph Strike (The Balcony) mounted in adaption of this racy Iiterary work. The story was transported to 1960s Paris. Rip Torn (HeartIand) portrays Henry MilIer as he barhops and bed-hops through Paris while struggIing to find his voice. EIlen Burstyn (AIice Doesn't Live Here Anymore) pIays miIler's Iong-suffering wife and Henry MiIIer himself makes a brief appearance in this ribald taIe that updates the setting but remains the Iibertine spirit of the book that was banned in the US and UK for 27 years. This passionate drama also stars James CaIlahan. |
