This is a movie from 1976, a time when "a Robert De Niro movie" meant something. When he was the greatest, most interesting actor in movies.
It is based on an unfinished novel by F.Scott Fitzgerald. And it tells the story of a Hollywood studio head in the early 1930's who is working himself to death and is suffering a terrible case of unrequited love. The movie is truly interesting and it features some great actors in their last significant roles (Robert Mitchum, Ray Milland and others).
The movie drags a bit but it is worth seeing simply to remember how great De Niro used to be.
It's playing in Cinemax Thriller (For no apparent reason. this is not a thriller)
