"The milieu of An American Dream is New York City; the nighttime of plush East Side duplex apartments, of police precinct stations, of after-hours clubs, of Lower East side tenements. Onto this environment Mailer impresses his singular imagination, creating a classic world of action and horror that takes on the dimensions of an American myth."
Basis of the mediocre 1966 film, directed by Robert Gist, starring Stuart Whitman and Janet Leigh.
