| F. Scott Fitzgeraldâs fascinating tale of studio politics in early Hollywood is breathtakingly brought to the screen by director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Harold Pinter, Robert De Niro heads a powerful 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 â30s-era gem. |
