The Carpetbaggers
“It is unlikely that you will experience in a lifetime all that you will see in... THE CARPETBAGGERS.”
Drama
Jonas Cord is a disagreeable young tycoon who's building planes, directing films, and catting around on the corporate make in 1930s Hollywood.
VIBE
A sprawling, sun-drenched epic of ambition and excess. It feels like watching fortunes rise and fall amidst the smoky, glamorous haze of mid-century Hollywood, where every triumph masks a deeper hollowness.
