This Altman classic is a delightfully wicked satire of Hollywood, wrapped in a comedic thriller. Certain that the anonymous threats he’s been receiving are the work of a disgruntled writer, producer Griffin Mill (Robbins) tries to fix things over cocktails. Instead, he ends up murdering the screenwriter and courting the dead man’s girlfriend (Scacchi). As police investigate, Griffin tries to concentrate on a prestigious film that might reinvigorate his career but he soon learns that the missing man hasn’t been forgotten by everyone in Hollywood.
