Synopsis

Jimmy Erskine is the most feared theatre critic of the age. He lives as flamboyantly as he writes and takes pleasure in savagely taking down any actor who fails to meet his standards. When the owner of the Daily Chronicle newspaper dies, and his son David Brooke takes over, Jimmy quickly finds himself at odds with his new boss and his position under threat. In an attempt to preserve the power and influence he holds so sacred, Jimmy strikes a Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land, entangling them and Brooke in a thrilling but deadly web of desire, blackmail, and betrayal.

Screw what my original comment said! I am 90% sure Nina was assaulted by David after being pressured into sleeping with him by Jimmy (under promise he would make her a star and threatening to ruin that if she didn't), then again, I don't trust Jimmy to tell the entire truth and he's clearly using it for blackmail reasons, but Nina clearly didn't want to do it and even if she lied about consenting, still not consensual

Queer is used as a slur, and not exactly hate speech but actions as the main character is a gay man back when it was illegal and in an interrogation scene he asks if the cops interrogating him (one of which has a pin identical to the bands worn by obvious nazis) if they think his lover is not intelligent because of the color of his skin (he is black)
