An intense and imaginative artist, Vincent Van Gogh (Kirk Douglas) possesses undeniable talent, but he is plagued by mental problems and frustrations with failure. Supported by his brother, Theo (James Donald), the tormented Van Gogh eventually leaves Holland for France, where he meets volatile fellow painter Paul Gauguin (Anthony Quinn) and struggles to find greater inspiration.
"One of Vicente Minnelli's best pictures, a visually stunning portrait of Van Gogh, splendidly played by Kirk Douglas."

"The Best Actor Oscar that year went to Yul Brynner for his broad emoting in The King and I, but Douglas - in one of the defining performances of his career -- would have been a far more deserving winner."
