Aroview: Masterpiece of Hollywood navel-gazing, with charismatic producer Kirk Douglas clawing his way to success on a Freudian subtext, using and discarding friends en-route through 'ruthless but necessary' business decisions. Dir. Minnelli choreographs his lucid B&W images with an equally deadly precision. Also stars Lana Turner.

2 stars (Good Try) Still watchable 65 years on but you really don't care what happens to any of these characters. ~Tubbs
