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.
Starring: Jack Palance, Ida Lupino, Wendell Corey

Ida Lupino was quite instrumental in breaking the Hollywood Studio system! IIRC!

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

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.

To say nothing of Wendell Corey's bloodless cynicism. To me, he's much more terrifying than the force-of-nature Steiger.

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)

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).

@mrreemann3739 Ай бұрын

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.

@SaiGirl Ай бұрын

@@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").

@mrreemann3739 Ай бұрын

@@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.

"The Big Knife is a film of excess. It's over-written, over-acted, overwrought and over-emotional. It's full of bombast and shouting and actorly monologues but the film has the courage of its convictions. It's unrelenting and unsparing in its depiction of the film industry as a hellscape where the worst of capitalism meets the worst of the arts". - film critic, Nathan Rabin 2022 I agree.
