Crime and Punishment U.S.A. is a 1959 American crime drama film directed by Denis Sanders, written by Walter Newman and starring George Hamilton in his first screen role.[1] The film was released on November 1, 1959.
The New York Times called the film "a beat generation version"[2][3] of the novel Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The film differs from the book in some of its plot elements and characterizations, and it takes place in contemporary Los Angeles rather than in 19th-century Russia.

Production

The film was completed early in 1958 but was released more than one year later.[4]
Reception
In a contemporary review for The New Republic, Stanley Kauffmann commented that "modern versions of classics are generally more clever than convincing because the very term 'classic' means a timeless work ... that need not be transplanted. ... [B]y reason of its attendant skills and an innocent, unpretentious earnestness of address, [the film] is a moderately interesting attempt to state the material of a vast symphony with a small jazz combination."[5]
Roger Corman later said that the film "lost me a lot of money."[6]
