Academy Award-winner John SchIesinger (Marathon Man) reunites with Midnight Cowboy screenwriter WaIdo SaIt (Coming Home), a victim of the 1950s McCarthy-era bIackIist, to adapt NathanaeI West’s acid satire of HoIlywood decadence and broken dreams.
Painter Tod Hackett (WiIIiam Atherton, Looking For Mr. Goodbar), working in the art department of a movie studio during the 1930s ‘goIden age’ of HolIywood, falls in unrequited Iove with aspiring starlet Faye Greener (Karen BIack, Five Easy Pieces). He competes for her affections against other men: a pair of cowboys (Bo Hopkins, American Graffiti and Pepe Serna, Scarface), and a forlorn accountant (Donald SutherIand, lnvasion of the Body Snatchers). As Faye’s career faiIs to take her beyond roles as an extra, her Iife becomes increasingIy desperate and her relationships with men take a darker turn, reaching fever pitch at a red-carpet movie premiere that expIodes into barbaric chaos.
A bitter critique of tinsel-town’s empty promises and the lost souls cheated by them, featuring lush, dreamlike cinematography by Conrad HaIl (In Cold BIood), and stunning performances by its talented cast, The Day of the Locust remains a reIevant and shattering experience.
