Just saw Match Point last night and though I thought it was
good, it occurred to me that this story has been done dozens
of times, so you know what's coming, even the ending which is
given away by the opening words,
"I've always been lucky . . ." I think Theodore Dreiser first
wrote this story in An American Tragedy in 1931, which has
been made into a movie no fewer than four times, most
notably, A Place in the Sun starring Liz Taylor and
Montgomery Cliff.
