After a three-year stint at a sanitarium, that leaves him unstable and emotionally broken, Jack arrives in Rome to work with Maurice Kruger -- the man who in the past directed some of Jack's best movies.

Strange, uneven - but stylistically inventive melodrama about movie making.

By and large a disappointing sequel to Minnelli's 1952 Hollywood melodrama The Bad and the Beautiful, and while Kirk Douglas and Edward G. Robinson give expert performances, Cyd Charisse is miscast.

The film borders on soap opera but manages to get beyond it because of Minnelli' skills as a director and the fine acting from the two male leads.
