Two Weeks in Another Town (1962)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 107m
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Edward G. Robinson, Cyd Charisse, Daliah Lavi
Synopsis:
An actor emerges from a spell in rehab after a complete mental breakdown to do a job for his old director friend in Rome. However, the latter is under pressures of his own, leading to a make or break situation for the actor.
Review:
The director's second look at the movie business after The Bad and the Beautiful (excerpts from which are used) is a less excoriating affair and easier to live with. As usual Minnelli uses colour to telling effect and the MGM production from Cinecittà is indeed ravishing to look at, heightening the wealth of melodramatic incident.
