What makes Sammy run?

You know, it's strange. I kept thinking I was going to give up on it, but then there would be a scene that was just riveting. Telling the story of a conscienceless creep crawling over bodies to get to the top of 1940s Hollywood, by way of his only lifelong "friend". It was still a pretty interesting description of the time, place and people. Kit, the woman screen writer, was by far the most interesting character. She had some amazingly insightful quotes.

In the end, I enjoyed it. Sammy was a jerk who embodied nearly all the horribly selfish character flaws of the people in charge, both then and probably now. His rise rise rise was fascinating thing to watch, in an "oncoming trainwreck" kind of way. Despite only 3 stars (probably more like 3.5), I would still recommend it to anyone with any interest in Tinseltown.
