only worth seeing for SIMONE SIGNORET
She gives her magic in everything she ever did.. This is stage bound and basically a two character study about an angry playwright and a great actress he wants to do his play. George Maharas does his best Brando or James Dean or Paul Newman routine but he is not one of them. Simone is glorious but stuck in a rather dull vehicle. The subject about whether she will do this play or not is the main focus and just not enough to make this interesting to see except for HER. There is a lot of talk but no action and a lot of emotion but hard to believe. But when Simone is talking and or in close up you cannot take your eyes off her.
