Pinter: Take Two
The Last Tycoon (Academy Pictures/Paramount, 1976). Dir Elia Kazan. Wrt Harold Pinter, from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. With Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jeanne Moreau, Donald Pleasance, Ray Milland, Dana Andrews. (123 min, Technicolor, 35mm )
Film version of Fitzgerald’s unfinished, posthumously published novel marks the final directorial effort of Elia Kazan. Set in the late nineteen twenties and early thirties, De Niro plays movie mogul Monroe Stahr, a character closely modeled on legendary Hollywood producer Irving Thalberg. Boasting a remarkable cast, the production benefits immensely from Pinter’s restrained, enigmatic screenplay which melds his own distinctive style with Fitzgerald’s milieu. (SS)
