This expose of Hollywood puts, at its center, Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas), a producer modeled on Val Lewton and David O. Selznick. “Under Minnelli's direction it becomes a fascinating study of a man destroyed by the 50s success ethic, left broke, alone, and slightly insane in the end” (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader).
