La podadora (El gran cuchillo) (1955)
Charles Castle, un actor de Hollywood muy exigente consigo mismo, no está satisfecho con sus últimas interpretaciones. Por eso, cuando un productor le hace una tentadora oferta que él considera que dañaría su reputación, la rechaza. Pero el productor lo chantajea, amenazándolo con revelar hechos de su pasado que empañarían más su prestigio que el papel que le ha ofrecido.
