=== This film contains examples of: ===
* [[B-Movie]] -- What Shields's studio made until he bought it out.
* [[Chewing the Scenery]] -- The scene where Shields betrays Georgia is supposed to be him revealing his "true self" to her, but it's so hammy compared to his otherwise calm and restrained performance, it [[Never Live It Down|colored perceptions of his acting for years]].
** What's often overlooked, even though it's just as over the top, is the next scene, with Georgia in her car, weeping and then finally breaking into screams. All the while she's ''still driving''.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] -- Shields, even when he doesn't have to be.
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]] -- Shields puts the quality of his films ahead of anything else, even to the point of not releasing a film vital to the studio's bottom line.
* [[Executive Meddling]] -- [[In -Universe]]. Shields is continually dissatisfied with one director, who finally has enough and tells him that he can direct the film himself if he's going to make so many demands. It doesn't turn out well, as Shields himself admits.
* [[Horrible Hollywood]]
* [[How We Got Here]]: The movie is made of three long [[Flash Back|flashbacks]], one for each of the people Shields wants to help him.
