F. Scott Fitzgerald's fascinating tale of studio politics in early Hollywood is breathtakingly brought to the screen by director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Harold Pinter. Robert DeNiro heads a powerhouse cast studio head Monroe Stahr, a thinly disguised Irving Thalberg character in command of his studio but haunted by a love lost to his past.
Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jenne Moreau, Theresa Russell, Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson contribute stirring supporting performances to this richly detailed '30s-era gem.
