  1. Mr Orange says:

    An overlooked classic about the misery and despair caused by chasing the American Dream in Hollywood. Sitting between and equal to Steinbeck and Death of Salesman in its examination of the underclass.

  2. Mr Black says:

    I agree with Mr Orange’s thoughts, however, it did lack that mysterious power that might make a man purchase a flat-bed truck and hit the open road to Hunstanton.
