Movie Review: A Major Disappoinment
Summary: 2 Stars
THE LAST TYCOON(1976)---Robert de Niro, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson, Ingrid Boulting, Theresa Russell, Jeanne Moreau, Tony Curtis, Ray Milland, Dana Andrews.
Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's last novel, de Niro plays an obsessive production chief loosely based on Irving Thalberg. I found the movie very unsatisfying, despite the impressive cast. It seemed to me to lack any sort of "thematic unity", other than de Niro's preoccupation with the smallest details of every movie he's making. There is an odd sort of "love story", between de Niro and a British actress by the name of Ingrid Boulting, that never seems to have a point---they are "on", they are "off", they are "on" again and we never really understand what's going on with them. Angelica Huston has a small cameo role. To my knowledge, this is the only time that de Niro and Nicholson are paired on the screen---their scenes together are brief---perhaps 5-10 minutes total, but, not surprisingly, they are one of the best things about this troblesome film.
