Released in 1981, The Million Dollar Face is a drama and tv movie film directed by Michael O'Herlihy, running about 100 minutes.

What it’s about. Tony Curtis is the ruthless head of a cosmetics firm, Kiss of Gold, locked in fierce competition with his arch-rival, Glamour, Inc., that happens to be run by his former lover (Lee Grant), and finds his company in the grip of a power struggle among his executives (one of whom, unbeknownst to him, is the son he'd never met) when he is severely injured in a helicopter accident. This pilot to a prospective primetime soap opera failed to generate network interest.

Who’s in it. The Million Dollar Face stars Tony Curtis as Chester Masterson, Sylvia Kristel as Brett Devereaux, David Huffman as Christopher Ward and Herschel Bernardi as Nick Ravenna, among others.
