Synopsis
Frankie Fane has clawed his way to the top of the Hollywood heap. Now, as he's preparing to win his Oscar, his friend Hymie Kelly reminisces over their life together, and Frankie's ruthless struggle to the top and the people he's stepped on (i.e., everyone else in the movie) to make it there.

Critics' reviews
  • "The plot here is so melodramatic and so unrealistic that the film becomes laughable."
  • "Without a single redeeming quality, part played by Stephen Boyd is unsympathetic virtually from opening shots."
  • "A piece of expensive claptrap, loaded with harrowing cliches."
  • "Tacky Tinseltown soaper, logging the unscrupulous rise to stardom of an Academy-nominated actor in a succession of flashbacks, featuring numerous stellar walk-ons and dreadful dialogue."
