Plot: F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel is brought to life in this story of a movie producer slowly working himself to death.
With a cast like this there is no way this should be the snoozefest it is. Moves at a glacial place to no real resolution.
Despite one of the strongest casts put to film, one of the greatest American directors and a story based on the work of one of America's greatest writers, The Last Tycoon falls well short of being great. At a running time of just under 2 hours one gets the sense that it either needed to be a lot shorter or much longer to fit its attempted grandeure. The characters are underdeveloped and too much remains left either unsaid or unexplained. The film is saved from complete mediocrity by the superb actors, most notably, DeNiro. If for no other reason, watch The Last Tycoon for two reasons: Firstly, it contains a rare gem of a scene involving both DeNiro and Nicholson which is the only time they have shared the screen to date. And secondly, watch this film as a tribute to Elia Kazan one of the most important, inspired and pioneering directors of his generation, who's final film deserved the greatness that this film could have achieved.
An underrated movie, Robert De Niro is as good as he turned out in later films. The film has a slow pace, a little incoherent storyline(screenplay: Harold Pinter.) However, a must watch for film lovers. The parting monologue is a stunner.
Last picture of kazan.and best movie of him.In the last shot looks like kazan is a lonely man in hollywood who knows what is the production system .and dont forget the strong screenplay by fabulous Harold Pinter
