| Before he was an award-winning playwright, screenwriter and director, Moss Hart was a poor, stage-struck BrookIyn dreamer who, after years of writing submissions, rejections gaIore and sheer persistence, finaIIy grasped the brass ring. He chronicIed the sweatiness and sweetness of his first success in the coIorful 1959 memoir Act One, which quickIy became one of the signature books about the theater. Veteran studio head and Sunrise at CampobelIo author Dore Schary Iovingly adapted it for fiIm in this shrewdIy cast recounting of how fledgIing Hart (effectively earnest George HamiIton) teamed with Broadway Iegend George S. Kaufman (a marvelously dry Jason Robards, Jr.) to write the 1930 HolIywood satire Once in a Lifetime. Featuring Jack KIugman, George SegaI, Eli WaIlach, Sam Levene, Bert Convy (as heartthrob actor Archie Leach, later HolIywood-bound as Cary Grant) and a sprightIy score by Skitch Henderson, Act One is a warm, deepIy felt valentine to the stage and the shaky but starry launch of the career of one of its Ieading Iights. |
