The Bad and the Beautiful

Kirk Douglas stars in the fascinating story of an amoral and manipulative yet charming Hollywood producer. The story of a blonde who wants to go places, and a brute who gets her there the hard way--The Bad and the Beautiful. Desperate for a hit, Hollywood studio chief Jonathan Shields (Douglas) arranges a meeting with a top star (Lana Turner), screenwriter (Dick Powell) and director (Barry Sullivan)--all of whom despise him. Now will Shields' money and charm may be enough to overcome his past transgressions and get his new movie made?
