Allen's "writing" credit

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2006)

Possible Spoiler for those that like old films and American literature.
Allen is taking writing credits, but this story was done in "A Place in the Sun" Montgomery Cliff, Liz Taylor and Shelly Winters gave noteworthy performances and the film is a well deserved classic.
What most may not know is that 'A place in the Sun' was a dramatization of the novel written by Theodore Drieser, "An American Tragedy" which was based on the true life story of the Gillete/Brown murder in early 1900's. I didn't see a 'based on' acknowledgement of Allen's inspiration. I hope it was there! Such an acknowledgement is hard to avoid, especially when Gillete killed Brown with a tennis racket.
