Elfriend. Then his summer idle is
l
Hollywood three-ring circus in his
i backyard. They have billeted
themselves close at hand to produce
; his lusty but serious tome about the American Revolution. He envisages
I
a stirring romantic epic. Hollywood,
with both eyes on the box-office, has other ideas.
Nothing revolutionary here. just
j an acceptablypleasant ’ comedy-drama that affectionately
lampoons the movie business and updates Alda's running commentary on the self-deceptive foibles of human relationships. Caine. as the swashbuckling idol, and Hoskins, as a vulgar but hopeful hack scriptwriter, display exemplary comic finesse. A sweet-natured,
inoffensive entertainment.
