Customer Reviews of Career
Was It Worth The Struggle? Anthony Franciosa stars as a young actor who goes to New York with big dreams and, of course, finds that it's a lot harder to make it on the stage than he realized. Dean Martin co-stars as his director/buddy, Shirley MacLaine is the alcoholic daughter of a famed Broadway producer with whom both men get involved, and Carolyn Jones is a former actress turned successful agent. There's nothing in this material that is original or especially fresh, since it follows a basic plotline we've seen before. Franciosa comes on strong (and sometimes too strong) as the idealistic actor who must decide how much idealism he can afford. Martin is solid and understated, while MacLaine chews the scenery when allowed. Jones creates the most memorable character, mixing in pathos, humour, and a world-weary experience. It's not a bad film, but there's nothing here you haven't already seen. It can be a hard trip on your way to the top. It depends on how bad you want it.
The Great and Underrated Dean Martin Steals the Show
Interesting movie, lags in parts, Franciosa is a bit over the top. Shirley MacLaine and Carolyn Jones are great, but it is Dean Martin in a supporting role (albeit with top billing) who gives a really thoughtful performance as small-time stage director and rat, Maury Novak.
Excellent portrait of a man seeking a goal, no matter what !
I related to this movie because I'm a musician. The movie takes through the life of a young man who loses everything in search of stardom. But when he finally attains it, to him, it was worth it...great movie, and I haven't seen it in 20 years. even though I'm not a Tony Franciosa fan, his performance is on the money. Carolyn Jones is a stand out as the lonely talent agent and Franciosa's only true friend. See it!
