Stockholm Film Festival

A theater ensemble tests a new play on the countryside, before it premieres in New York. The last night, a woman is killed while trying to get in contact with the female star of the play, Myrtle Gordon. This gets Myrtle to take on the guilt, which leads to a personal crisis for her. Her alcohol problems worsen and the whole production is threatened.
Comments from Gena Rowlands: I loved doing this picture. Our attempts to show part of the psychological and physical process of the creative arts was truly challenging. I thought John did a wonderful job with a difficult subject. It was very
interesti ng and strange too.
