USA; TWENTIETH CENTURY-FOX; ZANUCK, DARRYL F.; ZANUCK, RICHARD; CLEOPATRA (US, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963) Summary: "A powerful man and his determined son, an internationally famous dream factory where money is no object, and a battle between egos staged on the most lavish playgrounds in the world. This is the inside story of a family torn from within by greed, envy and a blind need to control. Movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck believed that the kingdom he had built - 20th Century Fox - was impregnable to outside conquest. Little did he dream that the power who would eventually dethrone him in one of the nastiest battles in Hollywood history would be none other than his own son, Richard Zanuck. In the best Hollywood tradition, this drama was played out on a larger than life scale against a glamorous international setting. There is a cast of supporting players that formed a Zanuck coterie - from their innumerable "yes men" to the old man's many mistresses [...] THE FOX THAT GOT AWAY is filled with high drama. It is a story that will not be soon forgotten, and a look at the workings of an industry that never fails to fascinate."
