Историю взлета и падения Джонатана Шилдса, безжалостного и одержимого голливудского продюсера, вспоминают самые близкие ему люди, которых он предал в тот или иной момент — кинозвезда Джорджия Лоррисон, режиссер Фред Эмиэл и сценарист Джеймс Ли Бартлоу. Только кино существовало для Шилдса, только ради него он жил, и только успех волновал его очерствевшую душу… Роль могла быть списана с Вэла Льютона, экстравагантного продюсера 40-х, автора «Людей-кошек». Но, вероятнее всего, прототипом послужил Дэвид О. Селзник, когда он был еще продюсером фильмов категории «Б» и только мечтал об «Унесенных ветром». Персонаж Ланы Тернер легко идентифицировать с Дианой Бэрримор, а Дика Пауэлла (1904-1963) — с писателем Фрэнсисом Скоттом Фицджеральдом, чей роман с Голливудом закончился горько.

Studio Guide
В 1913 году работник киностудии Майкл Коннорс увидел в постановке на Бродвее Молли Адэр. Очарованный ее красотой и талантом, он уговаривает ее оставить театр и уехать с ним в Калифорнию, где в то время начинает развиваться киноиндустрия. Став сценаристом и режиссером фильмов с Молли в главной роли, он делает из нее звезду... Сюжет замешан на биографии Макка Сеннетта и Мэйбл Норманд. В фильме снимались в роли самих себя многие звёзды немого кино. В имени главного героя заменили всего две буквы. Изменены названия студий. Скандал с загадочным убийством Уильяма Тейлора заменен на автомобильную катастрофу и по-мелочи. Но много и придуманного. Мэйбл Норманд не была звездой Бродвея и попала в кинематограф без помощи Макка Сеннетта. Макк Сеннетт в фильме встречается со своим «двойником» в молодости. Фантастическая концовка ‒ никакого триумфального прорыва в звуковое кино в реальности не было.

Хорошо это или плохо, но та эпоха даровала миру самых известных преступников — братьев Фрэнка и Джесси Джеймса. По легенде изначально братья были мирными фермерами, но когда железнодорожная компания попыталась нагло отнять их ферму в свою пользу, парни взялись за оружие, и, организовав отряд «справедливого мщения», начали совершать дерзкие ограбления банков, поездов и почтовых дилижансов.
