"The Last Tycoon" is a 1957 episode of the American television series Playhouse 90 based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Humphrey Bogart expressed interest in appearing in the production opposite to Lauren Bacall but was ultimately too ill with the cancer that would kill him.
The production was filmed in Los Angeles with some location work shot at Malibu Beach.
[1] Director John Frankenheimer recalled: We didn't try to improve on Fitzgerald.
We left it with Monroe Stahr in his beach house knowing he was dying and we closed with a shot of Palance.
