Overview
A philistine in the art film business, Jeremy Prokosch is a producer unhappy with the work of his director. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang to direct an adaptation of “The Odyssey,” but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings in a screenwriter to energize the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.

Viewing Notes
Sometimes tripping over into pretentiousness, but ultimately saved by a great cast including Fritz Lang playing himself. Palance nails his producer character, making you loath him early on. And of course Bardot.
