Budd Schulberg's tale of an unscrupulous egotist who muscles his way to the top of the dog-eat-dog world of Hollywood , was embraced by television when no film studio dared bring it to the screen. Long considered one of television's “lost” treasures due to the fact that only the program’s first hour was known to have survived (at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York ), the entire two-hour broadcast was unearthed in 2004 as part of the NBC Collection at the Library of Congress. Now fully restored by the Museum, it can be enjoyed in its entirety for the first time in nearly half a century.
