The last days of great American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald are chronicled in this film based on a memoir by Sheilah Graham, who was Fitzgerald's paramour during his final days. Graham was a gossip columnist and aspiring novelist who met Fitzgerald during his latter days as a Hollywood screenwriter. Deep in debt thanks to his wife's stay in a mental hospital and his daughter's private school tuition, Fitzgerald took a job writing film scripts to pay the bills, as he attempted to complete another novel that would re-establish his position as one of the important American authors of his century. Graham became Fitzgerald's aid and inspiration as he tried to steer himself away from alcohol and focus on his work, but the author was no longer as strong or stable as he once was. While Graham and Fitzgerald were in love, they often fought, and their efforts came to naught when he died of heart failure, with Graham at his side, before completing The Last Tycoon.

The feisty, domineering cattle baron Matt Devereaux (Spencer Tracy) rules his vast empire with a ruthless hand. Because Matt's greatest love is for his Indian wife, Princess (Katy Jurado) and their son Joe (Robert Wagner), Matt's three sons from a previous marriage deeply resent them. After Joe agrees to go to jail for a crime his father commits, he returns three years later to a different world; his father has died and his vengeful brothers control the land.

A secret investigator uncovers a murderer and an international organization in Switzerland. Starring Academy Award-winner Sir John Gielgud ("Arthur," "Murder on the Orient Express"), Patrick O'Neal ("The Way We Were," "For the Boys") and Joan Hackett ("Only When I Laugh").

Richard Cutter isn't like most insurance investigators. Instead of being equipped with actuarial tables, he's armed with a handgun and a dismissive wit. "Why do you carry a gun?" asks the exec hiring him to probe a case of multimillion-dollar insurance fraud. "It's more effective than a hammer," Cutter replies. Patrick O'Neal brings unshakeable sangfroid to the role of Cutter in this zigzag tale of corporate cover-up and death that's less Bond-like in its pacing and style and more akin to the methodical maneuvering of Harry Palmer.
