The Last Tycoon 1974

Robert De Niro and Ingrid Boulting

Directed by Elia Kazan

Starring: Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and Robert Mitchum

Adapted from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Screenplay by Harold Pinter

published in Collected Screenplays 1

Rewarding adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished tragedy about Hollywood and its movie moguls of the late 1920s and 1930s. The character of Monroe Stahr is clearly based on the legendary movie producer Irving Thalberg. Robert De Niro is remarkably effective, capturing Stahr's power and influence in a subtly shaded performance. Faithful, skillful screenplay by Harold Pinter.
