Mistress (1992 Barry Primus & co-scr)

 ..with JF Lawton. I think our print is cropped to 4x3. Who is Barry primus? He's an actor, in The Irishman, Joy. Who's Robert Wuhl? He's sort of Albert Brookish, in Good Morning Vietnam and 80s films.

A failed producer (Martin Landau, excellent as ever) tries to get financing for Wuhl's screenplay, enlists help of clock retailer Eli Wallach and his girlfriend Tuesday Knight, Danny Aiello and his girlfriend Jean Smart, and entrepreneur Robert de Niro (good) and his girlfriend Sheryl Lee Ralph (feisty). It's quite fun but descends into something of a mess. With Jace Alexander and Laurie Metcalf. And Christopher Walken.

Edited by Steven Weisberg.


The movie he keeps watching is Renoir's  La Grande Illusion
