Another knife in Hollywood's back, although the cast of this meretricious melodrama boasts as many stars as the script has reference to famous names. Joseph Cotten wins out over all of them - by cleverly underplaying his role as a movie studio boss. Stephen Boyd is the actor who will tread on any friend to win the coveted Academy Award. Five actors in the cast have actually won Oscars: Broderick Crawford, Ed Begley, Walter Brennan (who won three times as Best Supporting Actor), Ernest Borgnine and James Dunn.
