Storyline
Featured review
Good Performances. Good Script. Good Direction.
This is the only episode that won an award (Golden Globe for Best Editing) and it is a memorable one. Eleanor Parker gets to have some good chances for fine acting as her character becomes involved in the flawed and tormented director played by Ricardo Montalban. The inside-the-studio stuff is accurate and well-presented, especially in the looping / dubbing session and on-set scenes. Some fine dialogue too. Recommended, if you can find it. Oh, and I looked but I can't find Tom Selleck in this episode even though he's credited as "Roj".
