Nathanael West's virulent portrait of the Hollywood he lived in, in the 1930s, and of the hopes that turned to despair there, is converted by John Schlesinger into a display of latter-day Hollywood know-how and wherewithal (a lavish re-creation of period, a couple of spectacular catastrophe production numbers), whose purpose is the reverent, overconfident, and overproud consecration of an American Classic. With Karen Black, Donald Sutherland, William Atherton. (1975) — Duncan Shepherd
