A Hollywood star is pressured to renew his contract while a dark secret threatens his career.

Sinekatalog’s take

Robert Aldrich's drama, with Jack Palance and Rod Steiger, is hysterical and venomous, a wicked view of the studio system.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
