Synopsis:
At her funeral, a film director muses on the tragic career of the actress he discovered in Spain years previously.
Review:
Mankiewicz tries to rework the trick of doing showbiz with his All About Eve brushstrokes, with a dash of Sunset Boulevard thrown in, but whether it's the international cast that queers it, or just that the principals aren't up to snuff, it never quite catches fire.
