Review of The Last Tycoon (1976) by Grant S — 04 Feb 2009
Mildly interesting, but doesn't really make a point in the end and lacks fizz, just kind of meanders along. Despite the all-star cast and Oscar-winning director just seems fairly conventional and uninspired. Even Robert De Niro seems fairly wooden at times. Best acting performance probably comes from the then-unknown Theresa Russell.
Is of great historical significance though. Was the last movie Elia Kazan directed. Also the only movie to star Robert De Niro and Jack Nicholson.
Is also interesting as a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood, but doesn't really go far enough in its expose.
