A look at the underside of the Hollywood studio system...
“The Big Knife” is a noirish melodrama based on a play by Clifford Odets. A look at the darker side of the Hollywood studio system, the movie features Jack Palance as Charles Castle, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He seems to have it all. A former Broadway actor, he lives in opulence in Bel-Air, a suburb of Hollywood, but he’s had to sell out his ideals to rise to the top. His marriage to Marion (Ida Lupino) is on thin ice and his wife is threatening to leave him if he signs a new seven-year contract. Studio boss Shriner Hoff (Rod Steiger) isn’t taking the news too well, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get Castle to sign, even it means blackmail. Charles has sold his soul by succumbing to the pressures of men with power in exchange for wealth and fame. Now he’s lost his way, and has turned to women and alcohol.<br /><br />“The Big Knife” is a searing indictment of Hollywood, and no studio would make it. It was produced by independent United Artists and has a terrific cast, including Shelley Winters, Wendell Corey, and Jean Hagen.<br /><br />The casting of Palance is odd. Lacking traditional leading man looks, he is hard to believe as a movie star in an era when looks were often valued over talent. His performance is excellent, but this is clearly casting against type.<br /><br />Shelley Winters has some scene-stealing moments as Dixie Evans, a loud-mouthed actress who witnessed a tragedy involving Castle and could ruin his reputation, his popularity, and his earning power for the studio.<br /><br />Few films portray so blatantly how actors during the days of the studio system were treated as cash cows first, human beings second. This film shows in unfiltered severity the shadowy machinations of the studios and the men who run them.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated Blu-ray release include “Bass on Titles,” a 1972 documentary in which Saul Bass, who designed the credit sequence in “The Big Knife,” discusses his classic work; critical commentary; rare television promo hosted by Jack Palance, Shelley Winters and others; theatrical trailer; and reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork.
