Academy Award® winners Jack Palance, Rod Steiger and Shelley Winters deliver knockout performances in this vicious "poison-pen letter to the movie business" (American Cinematique) that's an extreme close-up of greed, lust...and murder!
Hollywood superstar Charlie Castle (Palance) has it all...except a way out. When he tries to leave show business, his tyrannical studio boss Stanley Hoff (Steiger) blackmails him with a lethal, covered-up secret that could land him in jail. A loose-lipped starlet (Winters) also knows too much, and when she starts talking, Hoff plans murder. Now Charlie is more cornered than ever - on the brink of losing his wealth, his power...and his soul.
