The bad and the beautiful

Biting drama that tells the story of a ruthless, manipulative movie producer who lets nothing and nobody stand in his way. Now he's broke and needs the help of the very people he used and betrayed on his climb to the top.

 Perhaps I came across it by looking for other films that Barry Sullivan was in, after seeing Man in the middle. (And I think I have already seen it.)

Kirkus Reviews
A searing account of how the author coped with her husband's year-long struggle with colon cancer and his untimely death. Emotionally raw from start to finish, the story makes for admittedly difficult reading. What saves it from sinking into pure melodrama are its fleeting moments of humor and the fact that it also celebrates a rare and profound love that transcended death. A brutally candid memoir of the "all-consuming and profoundly uncomplicated" power of grief.
