Actress Myrtle Gordon is troubled by her role in a new play and by thoughts of a young fan killed while pursuing her car. She begins to behave so erratically that her colleagues wonder how she’ll fare on opening night. An acutely insightful study of an actress anxious about ageing, Cassavetes’ film may be seen as his own response to ALL ABOUT EVE and, in turn, an influence on Almodóvar’s ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER. One of the unsung masterpieces of the 70s.
