| Summary: | Set in Hollywood in the 1930s, The Last Tycoon tells the tragic story of a young film producer named Monroe Stahr. Exploring themes of ambition, power and corruption, The Last Tycoon depicts Stahr's struggle to balance his personal life and professional goals with the challenges of running a successful movie studio. Based on the career of real-life producer Irving Thalberg, the head of MGM who was known as Hollywood's "boy wonder," The Last Tycoon is a sharply observed and bittersweet expoš of the glittering excess of the Hollywood film industry in its prime. |
