Kirk Douglas plays a Hollywood mover and shaker who realizes he can cozy up to a motherlode of cash by marrying one the world's richest women (Alexis Smith). The marriage unsettles the lifestyle of the mogul's adoring daughter (Deborah Raffin)-and sets in motion a whirlwind of personal and romantic repercussions in his own glamorous world. George Hamilton, Melina Mercouri, David Janssen and Brenda Vaccaro costar in this feverish tale of lies, lust and forbidden love.
