Ratings and reviews

A classic film about making films. Peter O’Toole earned a well deserved Oscar nomination for a performance that literally makes us believe he would do anything to direct his movie the way he wants to. He is well supported by Steve Railsback, Barbara Hershey et al. A tour de force from director Richard Rush
