This week Steve Hayes reviews "The Bad and the Beautiful," director Vincente Minnelli's 1952 take on making movies, which holds the record for most Academy Awards won (five) by a film not nominated for Best Picture. (It was nominated for a sixth: Kirk Douglas, Best Actor in a Leader Role.) Steve says: Three people talk about Kirk Douglas, as a ruthless Hollywood mogul and show why so many people want to work with him and love to hate him at the same time. It's Hollywood on Hollywood and also stars Lana Turner dressed in white and Gloria Grahame in one of the shortest Oscar winning roles as a Southern sex-a-holic.Sunday, February 07, 2010
