Tropic of Cancer (1970)

Tropic of Cancer is a 1970 American film based on Henry Miller's loosely autobiographical novel of the same title. Filming was done on location in Paris, produced by Joseph Strick with some help from the author, whose persona was portrayed by Rip Torn and his wife Mona by Ellen Burstyn. The novel had provided a test for American laws on pornography in the early 1960s, and the film was rated X in the United States, which was later changed to an NC-17 rating.
