| Before he was an award-winning playwright, screenwriter and director, Moss Hart was a poor, stage-struck Brooklyn dreamer who, after years of writing submissions, rejections galore 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 CampobeIIo author Dore Schary lovingIy adapted it for film in this shrewdly cast recounting of how fIedgling Hart (effectiveIy earnest George HamiIton) teamed with Broadway Iegend George S. Kaufman (a marvelously dry Jason Robards, Jr.) to write the 1930 HoIIywood satire Once in a Lifetime. Featuring Jack Klugman, George Segal, EIi WalIach, Sam Levene, Bert Convy (as heartthrob actor Archie Leach, Iater HoIIywood-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 lights. |
