In the glitzy, morally ambiguous world of 1950s Hollywood, Charles Castle stands at a crossroads. A celebrated actor, he's chosen the path of screen success over artistic integrity. Yet, as pressures mount from his studio boss and personal life, Castle finds himself forced into a dangerous game of deceit and manipulation. When a potentially murderous cover-up is thrust upon him to safeguard his career, Castle is confronted with choices that could shatter not only his professional success but also his marriage and moral compass. This gripping adaptation of a Clifford Odets play paints a vivid picture of an amoral industry, where the pursuit of fame collides with the erosion of the artist's soul.

Ida Lupino was quite instrumental in breaking the Hollywood Studio system! IIRC!
This is a really great movie and the actors were really great, and all in one room!
I am the manufacturing company for over 30 years, I rented some space and one of the buildings to a gentleman back in the 80s. He was Jack Palance cousin they looked more like brothers. They are one of those family’s where they are all start and live long lives good people. He was going to rent for 6 months stayed for 10 years then moved back home and retired. One of my best friends of my life
Palance himself looked like a cadaverous thug but (from reading about him) he was nobody's fool and a decent sort
Superb movie that brilliantly depicts the evil and corrupt "Hollywood System." You know it hit the target because the critics bashed it! 🎥
I haven't seen this film for a very long time. It was a nice surprise to find it offered. Thank you.
“Half idealism, Charlie, is the peritonitis of the soul.”
Wow, what a movie! I can’t believe this movie saw the light of day.
*THX* CineTime = An _Oldie But Goodie_ *A+* portrayal of Hollywood Movie Land "machinations"....!!! 👌
What an absolute cracking movie- the acting. Brilliant!
Jack p is awesome in movie with Joan crawford sudden fear !! Highly recommend it
When Curly talked about his life and adventures, he never mentioned his life in Hollywood.

Good film. Thank you for posting.
Movie star Charlie Castle (Jack Palance) draws the ire of Hollywood producer Stanley Hoff (Rod Steiger) when he refuses to sign a new seven-year contract. Castle is sick of the low quality of the studio's films and wants to start a new life. While his estranged wife (Ida Lupino) supports him in the decision, Castle's talent agent (Everett Sloane) urges him to reconsider. When Castle continues to be uncooperative, Hoff resorts to blackmail in order to get his way.
Release date: October 25, 1955 (USA)
Rod Steiger and his over acting is always a blessed thing to see.
Him, Palance, and Everett Sloane were chewing scenery like no tomorrow.
@@ricardocantoral7672 Too bad they dont make actors like that anymore.
Yes ! Can't beat a large thick slice
of Ham...!! eg. Steiger/ Burton / Olivier....!!
Wow. What a movie.
Released October 25th,1955
Steiger always determined to steal a scene. Marginal performance or not.
Clifford Odets....writing a story about himself.
This picture was based on a stage-play and maybe it would have benefited from losing some of the stage melodramatics and the one-set nature of a stage-production (which is o.k. in a theatre/theater).
I agree. A bit wordy. They should have edited some of the script out....added pauses, reaction shots and visual storytelling. It was a different era.
@@mrreemann3739 Interesting observation. If you're old enough to recall TV's highly successful "Playhouse 90" you can see this exact contradiction / dynamic going on. Color wasn't yet cheap enough. Black and white "talkies" had reached the high point of the genre with "film noir". Now TV had to try and capture a more upscale audience that had grown up with both live stage theater and movies. Video has a different feel than film. And live stage is such a completely different art form from cinema, that one might as well be leaping from silent film to talkies in less than a generation. Extend this to the adaptation of Shakepearean plays to "movie" format. Difficult to do, but when it's done successfully, the effects are brilliant (Branagh;'s "Henry V" or Olivier's "Richard III" for example or even Ian McKellen's "Richard III").
@@SaiGirl @SaiGirl 'Playhouse 90' was way before my time. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It's important to remember the time and technology of an era when scrutinizing. Maybe they wanted to remain true to the script and audiences were used to theater. They'd probably laugh if they could hear us criticizing almost 70 years in the future.
Was one of the Bel Air Mansions featured in the opening featured / used for 'The Beverley Hillbillies'?
Yep, I drove by it in the 1980s.
thanks
Love Robert Aldrich. His Kiss Me Deadly (also from 1955) is one of my 13 all time favorite films.
What are the other 12?
@@ElliotFlowers Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, either Rules of the Game, Grand Illusion or The River (I go back and forth between these 3 Renoirs) I Walked With a Zombie, The Flowers of St Francis, Kiss Me Deadly. Touch of Evil, Vertigo, Demy's Lola, Shoot the Piano Player, Contempt, Goodfellas.
Noir is my favorite genre and I've got 4 in my top 13 favorites.
What are some of your favorites?
@@willieluncheonette5843 Nothing of this era, I am 56. I loved this movie though. 'The wages of fear' is a black and white goodie, and also 'cul de sac' (black and white early sixties), also 'the night of the hunter' black and white. OK Thanks.
@@willieluncheonette5843 I will watch some of these thanks.
Dumbbell dingle berry delusionist. Top 13 ? Why not 10, 20 10000, a mill or a trill. What a movie ace you are. Rotten Potatoes ranks you a minus 10 out of 20
Definitely not film noir. Drawn out, over acted melodrama. Some of my favorite actors.
Absolutely no ideas what this was all about, it kept me awake some of the night, I turned it off towards the end, what I could remember was hearing was rather loud strange music…
Same here
@@GLeon-ov9yu It's a drama about angst, betrayal, resistance, suffering and loss.
Excellent movie.
Thanks
Thankyou x
There are some harsh criticisms of this melodrama. Mostly arising from its "stage play" style of set and performance. Why make a movie of it at all, if they couldn't add more cinematic features and effects? And I generally agree with this critique. What still makes it interesting to watch is Jack Palance and his great supporting cast. As a stage play, it works. As cinema, not so much. Palance really makes you suffer with his confusion, disappointment and anguish. I don't find it overly "hammy" at all. Steiger is pretty much in character for the typical Hollywood studio boss: a gangster in a silk suit with a cigar. Palance puts in great performances in all his films. Even the "B" productions. I highly recommend "Cocaine Cowboys" for what may be Palance's most authentic and absorbing character study. He was a true master of his craft. Always delivered intensity.
This film is just cringe worthy from beginning to end. This should’ve been named, “The Over Emoters.”
A great cast, and an absolutely fantastic set…but a horrible, Peyton Place-esque script of crescendoed emotions after crescendoed emotions. There were no subtleties here!
Despotic Steiger chews the scenery. Much like Wm Conrad in -30- and Karl Malden in Parrish(An unintentional riot).The latter was Claudette Colbert's last movie--and no wonder.
Why were these so bad? Steiger is awesome lil overacted yes but he's rod s
Silliness
Odd how the classic movies always have the worst thumbnails.
"worst thumbnails"?? You're checking out the actors' thumbnails?? Funny, I don't remember every noticing an actor's thumbnails in any movie.
This movie is a dud. It is an obvious play turned into a movie, with one set like the play. I didn’t enjoy one second of it.
Another one of their chopped off movies. They have been reported .
Huh?
Nul de chez nul! où est le générique ???
Watched a few minutes: this is NOT an English film as stated in the title!! It is clearly an American film!
I think that means the movie is in English vs another language.
Too bad movies like this didn't stop megalamaniacs like Huff in the industry. The nes change but they still cycle through like cockroaches...and that's an insult to 🪳
