Plot Summary

A forgotten movie star (MAE) and an ostracized painter (LIZA) corner a movie studio executive.  They have a pitch for a film about their lives: how they created the most offensive and beloved show in the country, and how they lost their fame.  It sounds like a hit, until the executive learns that he has a far deeper involvement in the offenses they describe.
