One of the most grim assessments of Hollywood life during the '30s, this cynical drama is adapted from a novel by Nathanael West and tells the tale of a talentless beauty's desperate struggle to become a star. The story, unfolding via flashback, is told from the viewpoint of a noted art director and features a number of ugly incidents from behind-the-scenes Tinseltown.
