Review :
Steve Cochran: Superstar
Well done Turner Classic Movies for showing this gem!
50 years+ old this movie,yet the story as relevant today as ever.
A magazine tycoon who loves his mother makes his success from sensational true stories which expose the truth about famous people.
The tycoon is played by someone I have never heard of until now, called Steve Cochran. What a star! This individual dominates the screen with his presence like few can. A super performance from him and the story has an excellent script.
The only problem for me is that the mother who is depicted in the film as disapproving her sons' journalistic methods; also the ending is unrealistic and over the top. Hence I have deducted one point. Otherwise a solid: 9/10.
