The Bad and the Beautiful

An original Rare Australian Daybill poster for this film that was directed by Vincente Minnelli and written by George Bradshaw and Charles Schnee. The film won five Academy Awards out of six nominations in 1952, a record for the most awards for a movie that was not nominated for Best Picture nor for Best Director. In 2002, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
