The Bad and the Beautiful (1952)
Country: US
Technical: bw 118m
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, Barry Fitzgerald, Dick Powell
Synopsis:
As a Svengali-like Hollywood film producer's career hits the skids, his leading lady, director and writer look back over his gradual decline in the business.
Review:
Stylish but at times quite boring melodrama, whose attempt to 'make light' at the end is unconvincing in the most assured tinseltown manner, at worst reflective of the trash so adroitly parodied in the studio sequences.
