Appearances are everything in Hollywood. So, when conniving moviemaker Jonathan Shields realizes few mourners will show up for the funeral of his equally conniving father, he knows what to do: hire extras. Kirk Douglas gives a magnetic, Oscar®-nominated performance as Shields, who turns talent, charisma and ruthlessness into film success, stomping on careers and creating enemies along the way. Vincente Minnelli directs this winner of five Academy Awards® that’s more than a compelling insider’s look at Tinseltown: It’s an opportunity for buffs to guess which real-life stars and moguls inspired the roles played by Douglas, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell, Best Supporting Actress Gloria Grahame and more.

One of the most glaring missing titles on Blu-ray. One of the most requested classics here. One of the best films of the decade!

Will be blind buying this!!

CBHampson · 10-16-2019, 08:44 PM

An all-time favorite for me. Might be the only film I've recorded and watched 3 separate times off TCM. Will DEFINITELY be upgrading here

SeanJoyce · 10-16-2019, 08:51 PM

While we still need Detective Story, The Big Sky, Lonely Are the Brave and a proper HD release of The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, this is a major addition to the home video libraries of Kirk enthusiasts. Man that guy murdered it for two decades.

CinemaScope · 10-16-2019, 09:15 PM

Ha, at long last

professorwho · 10-16-2019, 09:17 PM

I'll probably blind buy this.

ZODIAC-BLU · 10-16-2019, 09:22 PM

Another black & white beauty on Blu!

GeoffOliver · 10-16-2019, 10:31 PM

Hell yeah! About damn time. Probably Lana Turner’s best film after The Postman Always Rings Twice.

McCrutchy · 10-16-2019, 11:13 PM

Excellent news, and with the 86-minute Lana Turner documentary in tow, too.
