The Last Tycoon

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.
