Summary
F. Scott Fitzgerald's fascinating tale of studio politics in early Hollywood is breathtakingly adapted to the big screen by Elia Kazan and scriptwriter Harold Pinter. Robert De Niro heads a powerhouse cast as studio head Monroe Stahr, a thinly disguised Irving Thalberg character in command of his studio but haunted by a love lost to the past. Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jeanne Moreau, Theresa Russell, Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson contribute stirring supporting performances to this richly detailed '30s-era gem. Nominated for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Robert De Niro) by the **New York Film Critics Circle Awards**. *"The movie is full of echoes. We watch it as if at a far remove from what's happening, but that too is appropriate: Fitzgerald was writing history as it happened." - Vincent Canby, **The New York Times***
