Death of a Scoundrel

This is a movie about a jerk who rises to the top but quickly falls down.  Yvonne DeCarlo is in love with him.  He gives financial advice to Zsa Zsa Gabor.  He helps a struggling actress out Nancy Gates.  Yet when she denies his advances he tries to destroy her career.  George Sanders is really good as a scoundrel.  He uses these women and many others.  One can't be too sympathetic about his ruin.  I've always found Nancy Gates to be an underrated actress and she shines here as a sweet naive girl.
