By train. By car. By bus. They came to Hollywood... In search of a dream.
It happenend in Hollywood. But it could have happened in hell.
Life's flotsam and jetsam turn up at late 1930's Holloywoodland's door, once more, in this insightful tale of wannabes and desperadoes. Tod Hackett, artist, has inspirations to become noticed until he meets Faye Greener, blonde bombshell, and is immediately smitten. She has other ideas. She has Homer Simpson, victim, in her sights and cruelty and loneliness takes new meaning as all three are slowly sucked into the Hollywood system of sycophants, liggers and parasites, sucking the life from others as the life, and soul, is slowly sucked from them.
Release Date: May 7, 1975 @ the Cinema I , Manhattan
Distrib: Paramount
Awards: 2 Oscar Nom: Best Supporting Actor ; Best Cinematography
Boxoffice: $12,500,000
One of the best movies of the 70s with a beguiling performance by Karen Black-one that should have garnered her a Best Actress nomination.
Black had an amazing 1975 with this, NASHVILLE and the classic TV movie Trilogy of Terror all coming out.
