The Last Tycoon (1976)
As much as I wanted to like The Last Tycoon, because the story was originated by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I just couldn’t get through it. It takes a lot to make me actually turn off a movie, but I was so incredibly bored my eyelids were actually drooping.
Basically, Robert De Niro stars as a producer in old Hollywood, and the film follows his various dealings with Hollywood stars, executives, and backstage personnel. Old timers like Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Ray Milland, John Carradine, Jeff Corey, and Dana Andrews have fun with reliving the “good old days”, and modern stars like Jack Nicholson, Donald Pleasence, Jeanne Moreau, Theresa Russell, Peter Strauss, and Anjelica Huston get to dress up and pretend they’re in the 1940s. As sometimes happens, when you get a huge cast together, the magic is spent in publicizing the party invitations rather than the party itself. I didn’t really like this one even though there are several cast members I remembered fondly from the era The Last Tycoon takes place in.
