| Summary |
Harold Robbin's bestseller about ₂30s Hollywood comes to the screen in a torrent of frank, controversial, and (for the times) sensational scenes that helped break the Production Code. George Peppard (Breakfast at Tiffany's, P.J.) is the ruthless tycoon who (with amazing parallels to Howard Hughes) builds a multimillion-dollar empire. Carroll Baker (Baby Doll, The Big Country), who performs a razzle-dazzle striptease atop a glittering chandelier, is the Jean Harlow-type star. In addition to its depiction of the wildlife in Tinseltown's early days, the film also boasts Alan Ladd's terrific final screen performance as the hero's sidekick, Nevada Smith (later portrayed in the film's prequel by a gunslinging Steve McQueen). |
