A comedy about a screenwriter (Wuhl) whose old movie script is read by a producer (Landau) and the search for financial backers begins. But it seems that each money source (Aiello, DeNiro, Wallach) has his own mistress that he wants put into the film. Gradually, the screenwriter is forced to make changes to his script to accommodate these backers until he finally sees no semblance of his original ideas in the writing.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp satire on the compromises artists make in pursuit of financing, watching a screenwriter's vision get methodically dismantled by the egos and desires of moneyed backers. It's a cynical, witty dissection of creative corruption that doubles as a who's-who of star cameos.
