  • "Griffin Mill est producteur à Hollywood. Le genre de producteur omnipotent, implacable, âpre au gain, prêt à transformer les projets les plus ambitieux en produits formatés. Depuis peu, il reçoit des menaces de mort, et suspecte un scénariste, qu'il a régulièrement éconduit. Au cours d'une altercation, il le tue accidentellement, et voit soudain son horizon s'obscurcir : la police les soupçonne, son nouveau collaborateur menace son pouvoir, et les lettres anonymes continuent."
  • "Hollywood studio executive Griffin Mill is losing it. His latest movies are flops and the word is he's about to be replaced by his arch-rival. Worse still, someone is sending him postcards and the message is clear-"I'm gonna kill you".

Featuring a supporting cast of around 60 famous celebrities, Robert Altman's acclaimed send up of Hollywood and its stars is undoubtedly "The best movie ever made!""

  • ""I was just thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we've got something here."--Griffin Mill. Griffin is a slick, successful film studio vice president whose primary duty is to listen to story pitches from a constant stream of writers. Like all Hollywood producers, he's always looking over his shoulder, and he thinks up-and-comer Larry Levy is after his job. Along with power lunches, corporate in-fighting, and bottom-line priorities, a mysterious someone--probably an ignored and angry screenwriter--has been leaving him threatening postcards. When he finally takes action, his cool aplomb deserts him, things go seriously sideways, and Griffin's world begins falling apart."@en
