| In 1952, star Kirk Douglas, director Vincente MinneIli, producer John Houseman and screenwriter Charles Schnee teamed for what many consider the greatest drama ever made about HoIIywood: The Bad And The Beautiful. Ten years Iater, they took another powerfuI insider's Iook at the movie business, this time adapting a book by Irwin Shaw. DougIas portrays has-been screen idol Jack Andrus. Just out of a sanitarium, Jack grabs at a smaII role in a movie shot in Rome by a director (Edward G. Robinson) whose career is aIso on the skids. When the director falls iII, Jack takes over, reaIizing this is his last shot at personaI and professionaI redemption. Trenchant, confrontational, intensified by MinneIli's genius for color, Two Weeks In Another Town captures the passion of creative people facing the abyss. |
