The Bad and the Beautiful
True to its word, Vincente Minnelli’s The Bad and The Beautiful is full of bad, beautiful people. Baddest of all is Kirk Douglas as a two-faced director who’ll walk over anyone or anything to get what he wants. Those walked upon include a ravishing Lana Turner, Dick Powell as an unassuming novelist, and Walter Pidgeon as a cagey movie producer. Overripe but consistently fascinating, the Oscar-winning screenplay was by Charles Schnee (Red River), and the Oscar-winning cinematography by Robert Surtees.
