This was basically MGM's Citizen Kane! Sure it's not AS technically ambitious but the story is still engaging and the relationships between the three "ruined" personalities and that one relentless producer is more complex than I would have thought.
Such a great film! One of the best films about hollywood and what it does to people.i have the black and white version and colorized version of it...Lana should've been nominated for an Oscar for her performance and should've won an Oscar for her performance ..Gloria Graham is good in this film and a great actress but her 10/15 mins on screen in this film definitely didn't deserve an Oscar nomination or an oscar win for best supporting actress, Lana should've won this! It's one of her best performances!! But we all know the academy always snubs some of the best talent!!🏆🎬📺🎞📼🏰 👠🕶💄💍👒👑🥀
@madamex812 Fickle, fickle, Oscar! I guess we know, from your screen handle alone, who your favorite actress was. I saw this picture 50 years ago, on ABC's The Early Show, after school. It was the first time I'd ever seen Gilbert Roland, Dick Powell, or Gloria Grahame. It made a profound impression on me, even though I remember little beyond the flashback storytelling style. Of late, I've repeatedly played and re-posted Raksin's stunning score. I didn't recall Lana Turner from it, but about a year ago, I saw The Postman Always Rings Twice, and she and Julie Garfinkle blew me away.
@kssdqa90 You're absolutely right. I suspect that the call for a remake is one of those fake compliments, like "ahead of its time," or "she was vastly underrated," about someone who enjoyed worldwide adulation in her prime.
I know I'm not going to make friends over this one, but, I gotta be honest. This movie didn't click with me. It's not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that it was so overwrought that I had a hard time taking it seriously. If you like it, more power to you. I totally get why others would dig it. As for me, well... there's other movies about filmmaking I love. Like Ed Wood, Sunset Blvd, Day for Night, and Singin' in the rain, just to name a few.
@@randolphwhite3406 Maybe someday, I might revisit it. Again, I can see why people love it. And I like I said, I do love other films about filmmaking. I also plan on watching Two Weeks on another town since I enjoy Minnelli's other film Some Came Running.
Many remakes suck. cinemaeospro said maybe this would be LiLo's great comeback. What makes you think she is even good enough to star in it? Or are you hoping she stars in it and they add nudity to it? They would add nudity to it if it was remade. Guys want to see nudity in movies. And it is not necessary.
Anyone who changes their birth name, other than when getting married, is ashamed of their Father. Giving up one's heritage for the shallowness & greed of 'Hollywood' shows a lack of character with a desire to obtain perceived greater recognition & monetary gain. If everyone would just roll up their sleeves and get a REAL job, everyone's lives would be much easier. For example in this movie alone, 14 out of the 44 main characters sold-out their names to deceitful agents, managers, or studios: So-called "Kirk Douglas" was born Issur Danielovitch. So-called "Gloria Grahame" was born Gloria Grahame Hallward. So-called"Elaine Stewart" was born Elsy Henrietta Maria Steinberg. There wasn't anything wrong with her birth name, other than being one too many names. So-called"Gilbert Roland" was born Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso. There wasn't anything wrong with his name, other than being too long & having a lower case letter. So-called "Barbara Billingsley" was born Barbara Lillian Combes. So-called "Paul Stewart" was born Paul Sternberg. So+called "Vanessa Brown" was born Smells Brind. So-called "Stanley Andrews" was born Stanley Martin Andrzejewski. So-called "Steve Forrest" was born William Forrest Andrews. So-called "Kaaren Verne" was born Ingeborg Greta Katerina Marie-Rose. There was nothing wrong with her name, other than being too long & jdcing an unecessary hyphen. So-called "Dorothy Patrick" was born Dorothea Davis. So-called "Louis Calhern" was born Carl Henry Vogt. So-called "Sammy White" was born Samuel Kwait. So-called "Franklyn Farnum" was born William Smith.
A classic in every sense. And those COSTUMES! Such a great old movie.
What a movie, winter night 96' and my obsession with Hollywood... It was a joyous combination.
Vincent Minneli's ending scene is a classic!
I need to watch this😁
That "Get out Get out" was some serious acting...God bless those who were born in 1952
Lana Turner is GLAMOUR, BEAUTY, TALENT

RIP Kirk Douglas
The very last scene is the best
2:13 - Poor Gloria Grahame gets looped back and forth. I would have expected only Grade-Z trailers of this time period to do that, LOL.
Aha, that's where they got the title for "The Bold and Beautiful"
Good ole' Dickie Powell. He "forgets" to overact like everyone else does.
The title makes this sound trashy, but even 50 years after seeing it only once, I can vaguely recall that this was a classic.
Dick Powell is a great actor. See Cry Danger!
How gorgeous is Lana in this film? Kirk Douglas is a fool turning her down at his door! She wanted to party! 😝
Is the full movie on youtube
please where can i find this movie
I bought it for $10 on ebay.
lol Why does everything need a remake? Is the original product not worthy enough in telling the story? Leave it be

I can see why some wouldn't like The Bad and The Beautiful. I would say it's a decent melodrama with a terrific cast.
Sorry you didn't enjoy this film its a Masterpiece imo and one of the best films ever, try it again and see how you feel about it now.

Best scene: Lana at the wheel.....
rip
the female actresses were so sophisticated, talented and beautiful....the lead males like Douglas were not in their realm!
oh yes they were
2:13 gloria graham stuck in the middle.
why the fuck did they looped her :)
Oh, God no. They'd definitely screw it up.

+Todd Reeder I don't know who would be the best to star in a remake. Maybe Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas.
