Tropic of Cancer is a 1970 film version of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, directed by Joseph Strick. In Strick's movie version it is a sex comedy, a series of 'vignettes and sex fantasies' about Americans abroad. Strick had previously adapted other works of literature - Jean Genet's The Balcony and James Joyce's Ulysses -

Strick's adaptation does not keep the book in its period - the bohemian Depression milieu of rootless Russian and American exptriates in the Paris of the early 1930s - something for which he was criticised by the critic Pauline Kael - " when the story is made timeless, the characters are out of nowhere, and the author-hero is not discovering a new kind of literary freedom in self-exposure, he's just a dirty not-so-young man hanging around the tourist spots of Paris."
