Panic Button (1964) (original) (raw)
With its assets in a sling, a panicked business group decides to solve its tax problems by creating a gargantuan entertainment flop and using it as a tax write-off. The biz group's front man spearheads a sham film of Romeo and Juliet that would have made The Bard put down his quill forever if he had seen it. Essential to his scheme: hire a lead actor whose movies only draw flies, a non-actress vamp to play Juliet and a director proud of his ability to guide actors in portrayals of lampshades and trees.
