View all The Bad and the Beautiful reviews

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.

Release date: 9 February 1953

Elokuvat 2021 (271 movies items)

"22.4 Yhdysvallat/Minnelli Nokkelasti takaumien ympärille sommitellussa Hollywood-onaniassa Kirk Douglas on maanisdepressiivinen wunderkind-tuottaja joka sohlatessaan roiskii pahaa oloa lähipiiriinsä. Yksi parhaista elokuvista elokuvista ei kompastele, vaikka Lana Turner on liian kaunis ja Dick Powellin näyttely rajoittuu piippu huulessa seisoskeluun. "
