"Movies. Now more than ever." That's the motto of the movie studio where fast-tracking exec Griffin Bell (Tim Robbins) works. But rumor has it that a power play could push Bell out. And a rejected writer who's sending anonymous death threats could push him under. Robert Altman directs this acclaimed and satiric love/hate valentine to Hollywood, and from the bravura opening tracking shot to the spot-the-star cameos (60+!) to the inside skinny of studio life to the gleeful finale, you're in good, knowing hands.
"Hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time... Altman... has hit one out of the park." -- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
