Movie great Lauren Bacall has blasted Tom Cruise in a tribute to his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Outspoken Bacall reveals her Aussie pal was "unhappy" on the set of their movie Dogville, which Kidman made after splitting from Cruise - and the American great will never forgive the actor for breaking her friend's heart.

Bacall tells Elle magazine, "Tom had taken off for (girlfriend) Penelope Cruz or some goddamn thing - one of his more ridiculous moves. Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can't understand the way he conducts his life."
