Description:
The leading Hollywood fan magazine of the 1920s and 1930s. Photoplay offered readers portraits of their favorite movie stars and stories about their personal lives. The magazine played an important promotional function for the Hollywood industry, but its editors and reviewers could also be highly critical of Hollywood. Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

His search for a wife was frustrated by his own frenzy. People called him a madman. His paintings were laughed at. Today they are priceless — acclaimed as the work of an incomparably great artist. This truly extraordinary motion picture tells the story of his tumultuous life. . . .from the frank and revealing novel,“Lust For Life.” if ^ if KIRK DOUGLAS in | LIFE PAMELA BROWN with i From M-G-M in CinemaScope and MetroLolor starring co-starring ANTHONY Q,UINN JAMES DONALD EVERETT SLOANE • Screen Play by NORMAN CORWIN • Based on the Novel by Irving Stone Directed by VINCENTE MINNELLI • Produced by JOHN HOUSEMAN • An M-G-M Picture P 3
