The Big Knife (1955)
Filmster Charlie Castle trekt de woede van Hollywood-producent Stanley Hoff wanneer hij weigert een nieuw zevenjarig contract te tekenen. Castle is de lage kwaliteit van de films van de studio beu en wil een nieuw leven beginnen. Terwijl zijn vervreemde vrouw hem steunt in de beslissing, dringt Castle's talentagent er bij hem op aan om te heroverwegen. Wanneer Castle niet meewerkt, neemt Hoff zijn toevlucht tot chantage om zijn zin te krijgen.
