A director, an actress and a writer each explain why they never want to work with producer Jonathan Shields again. Through their stories a portrait is sketched of this man who rose from making B-movies to one of Hollywood's biggest producers by using people in order to get him to the top.

"2/?/13 I somehow forgot to list this, earlier in the month, and can't for the life of me recall why. Luckily I saw a brief clip on TCM. I say luckily because it is a fantastic film showcasing the magnetic Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner, one of the most beautiful (and incredibly talented) actresses to ever grace the silver screen. Douglas portrays producer Jonathan Shields, who rose from making B-grade films to Hollywood smashes, and the story is told via a meeting between a director, a writer an"
