Vincente Minnelli sure knows how to make a picture (pictchah**)! I think his direction brings out a lot of the great theatricality of Kirk Douglas. He has so much energy and presence that Minnelli lets flow unhinged. That's the strongest point of this film.
A close second for that title is the stunning setting. They shot in Rome and in Minnelli's signatory lurid colour. I devoured the visuals. There were some shots in this that were so jaw dropping, even for Minnelli.
But what I think I loved most of all were the references to The Bad and the Beautiful. Such a gorgeous film that seeped perfectly into this one. I want to relive it.

Another movie about movie making. In attempt to retouch and reignite the past, Kirk Douglas must mend torn relationships, and ultimately realize his full potential in finishing a movie. After 7 years of not speaking, Kirk flies to Rome where he soon turns director on this Italian Dubbed movie. Complexities into the characters where Kirk felt a bit like a washed up Bojack Horseman type trying to restart his career.
