Synopsis
A comedy about a screenwriter (Wuhl) whose old movie script is read by a producer (Landau) and the search for financial backers begins. But it seems that each money source (Aiello, DeNiro, Wallach) has his own mistress that he wants put into the film. Gradually, the screenwriter is forced to make changes to his script to accommodate these backers until he finally sees no semblance of his original ideas in the writing.
Critics' reviews
- "Can't seem to decide if it's supposed to be a comedy about Hollywood small-timers trying to get an indie pic off the ground, or a somber drama in which greed and lust overwhelm art"
- "'Mistress' abounds with sharp comic performances that never stray into caricature or sentimentality."
- "Seeing 'Mistress' is like getting a bad table at the in Hollywood restaurant. You're eavesdropping on all the dull conversations."
- "The gags are too obvious; the conflict between art and money is hackneyed; and the plot goes badly off the rails in the later reels."
