DramaTV Movie

The man behind the legend and a knowing look at the 1950's Hollywood are revealed in this dynamic bioepic of the meteoric star whose troubled life echoed his gut-grabbing performances in East of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause and Giant.

VIBE

A poignant, melancholic look at a troubled icon. It captures the allure and isolation of sudden fame, set against the backdrop of a glittering, yet unforgiving, Hollywood. Feels like a quiet, reflective evening with a legend.
