Trama
Un regista alcolizzato, insieme ai suoi due bizzarri assistenti, tenta di salvare una casa di produzione indipendente realizzando un film muto e puntando sulla partecipazione di grandi nomi del cinema: Paul Newman, Liza Minnelli, James Caan, Anne Bancroft e il mimo francese Marcel Marceau che pronuncia l'unica parola del film. Film ineguale e squilibrato come la fantasia del suo autore; raffica di gag mute, doppi sensi e demenzialità ante litteram. Alcuni momenti, però, sono indimenticabili.
