The Day of the Locust Full Movie Free

Aspiring artist and recent Yale graduate Tod Hackett arrives in 1930s Hollywood to work as an art department production illustrator at a major film studio. He rents an apartment in the San Bernardino Arms, a rundown bungalow court occupied by various people, many on the fringes of the industry.

Characters at San Bernardino Arms

Among them are Faye Greener, a tawdry aspiring actress; her father Harry, an ex-vaudevillian; Abe Kusich, a dwarf who carries on a tempestuous relationship with his girlfriend, Mary; Adore Loomis, a young boy whose mother is hoping to turn him into a child star; and Homer Simpson, a repressed accountant who lusts after Faye. Tod’s unit has a crack in a wall caused by an earthquake; he puts a bright red flower in the crack. Tod befriends Faye, and attends a screening of a film in which she has a bit part, accompanied by Earle Shoop, a cowboy she is dating.

Events at Hollywood Hills Mansion

Faye is disappointed with the film after finding that her appearance has been severely truncated. Tod attempts to romance Faye, but she coyly declines him, telling him she would only marry a rich man. Tod attends a party at the Hollywood Hills mansion, where the partygoers indulge in watching stag films. Despite her hesitations, Faye continues to spend time with Tod. The two have a campfire in a canyon in the hills with Earle and his friend, Miguel. A drunken Tod becomes enraged when Faye dances with Miguel, and chases after her, apparently to rape her, but she fends him off.

Tragic Events

Some time later, Faye and Homer take Harry to a holy roller church gathering led by a female preacher known as Big Sister, who performs a public “healing” of him in an attempt to cure his heart ailment, but he subsequently dies. In order to pay for Harry’s funeral costs, Faye begins prostituting herself. The shy, obsessive Homer continues to vie for Faye’s affections, caring for her after her father’s death. The two eventually move in together, and Faye continues to hopelessly find employment as a movie extra.

While filming a Waterloo-themed period drama, Faye escapes injury during a violent collapse of the set, and reunites with Tod, who witnesses the accident. Faye and Homer subsequently invite Tod to dinner. The three attend a dinner theater featuring a drag show as entertainment. During the dinner, Faye confesses to Tod that her relationship with Homer is sexless, but is loving and offers her security.

Later, the premiere of The Buccaneer is taking place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, attended by celebrities and a large crowd of fans and actors, including Faye.
