The Last Tycoon

“He has the power to make anyone's dream come true... except his own.”

Monroe Stahr (Robert De Niro) is a successful movie producer who runs his studio on little sleep and a body that is giving out. He falls hard for a beautiful, elusive young woman while the work keeps pulling him back. Elia Kazan adapts Fitzgerald's unfinished novel with Pinter's screenplay, and Stahr stays at his desk with Pat Brady (Robert Mitchum) nearby, the long hours wearing him down.
