"I'm sure I'd much rather see a snake than a Hollywood producer."
Successful Hollywood actor Charles Castle (Jack Palance) is pressured by his agent into signing a contract with a low rent studio, in the guise of Stanley Shriner Hoff (Rod Steiger), against the advice of his wife (Ida Lupino). But they hold a trump card over him, a cover-up that could potentially ruin his career.
A melodrama that suggests Hollywood management are little better than that of gangsters, in their amoral pursuit of money and fame at all costs, in this downer of a story.
