Amazon.com:
Very little of the energy and intensity of Elia Kazan's great early work remains in his last movie, a flat adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished final novel about a Hollywood movie mogul of the 1930s. The story still feels like a half-written first draft, a grab bag of roughed-out scenes, even though Harold Pinter supposedly polished up the screenplay. Robert De Niro manages a silky, nuanced performance as the mogul, Monroe Stahr (modeled upon MGM's Irving Thalberg, the suave vulgarian who eviscerated Eric Von Stroheim's Greed), and works hard to transform this essayistic conceit of a character, a sexually repressed guru of mass audience manipulation, into a plausible wounded human being. The movie gets a welcome jolt of energy whenever vivid supporting players like Jack Nicholson, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, or Theresa Russell turn up. --David Chute

This movie is great for people that are movie buffs, or people interested in F Scott Fitzgerald, classic cinema or classic actors. The film stars Robert DeNiro, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson, Donald Pleasence, Ray Milland, Dana Andrews, Angelica Huston, and in a near cameo, John Carradine. Despite this amazing array of stars, the film itself is lacking. I found it slow paced, lacking story and a bit dull. I did enjoy seeing great actors perform though. I would only really recommend this ... Read More

Very slow movie, hardly any excitement. Seems like no music either which makes it drag on. Best part is towards the end when DeNiro meets Nicholson.

Monroe Stahr is a high-powered Hollywood executive seen as a creative genius by his studio peers. What makes him so different from so many executive screen depictions is that he is not the boisterously expansive "eat on the run" giant one so frequently sees, but is more of an otherwise faceless bureaucrat who says little and acts only when it is necessary.
"The Last Tycoon" was director Elia Kazan's last film. The 1976 drama was adapted from the final work of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald's ... Read More
