In November 1924, multimillionaire William Randolph Hearst (Edward Herrmann) hosts a weekend of festivities aboard his 220-foot steamer in honor of filmmaker Thomas Ince's (Cary Elwes) birthday. It seems that everyone on board wants something from Hearst. Ince and his partner, George Thomas (Victor Slezak), need his financial assistance for their faltering business; gossip columnist Louella Parsons (Jennifer Tilly), an East Coast Hearst employee, wants to transfer to Tinseltown; and comedian womanizer Charlie Chaplin (Eddie Izzard) wants Hearst's lover Marion Davies (Kirsten Dunst) for his own. Joined by other party goers, including English Victorian novelist Elinor Glyn (Joanna Lumley) and Ince's mistress, the actress Margaret Livingston (Claudia Harrison), the group ships off for a weekend of fun and debauchery. The festivities soon turn more serious as Chaplin pursues Davies, fueling Hearst's jealousy over their alleged relationship. Ince, meanwhile, attempts to ingratiate himself with Hearst by keeping an eye on Chaplin and Davies. Ultimately, jealousy leads to tragedy, with all of the party goers sworn to secrecy over what transpired. Director Peter Bogdanovich (MASK) successfully recreates the opulence of Hearst's lifestyle and the spirit of the Roaring Twenties right down to the bootleg moonshine and the Charleston.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney have enjoyed an illustrious partnership in the world of film. Their production company,
Section Eight Productions,
has yielded a number of films, and Sodebergh has directed Clooney in a number of films such as OCEAN`S 11 and SOLARIS. Here, they team up once again, co-producing HBO show UNSCRIPTED, which follows the fictional lives of three actors as they attempt to succeed in the cutthroat film world. Creating a meta-TV world similar to other early 21st century shows such as CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and FAT ACTRESS, Krista Allen (DAYS OF OUR LIVES), Bryan Greenberg (ONE TREE HILL), and Jennifer Hall (ALL MY CHILDREN) all play themselves in the show, as do most of the supporting cast. A notable exception is actor Frank Langella (LOLITA), who takes a major role as Goddard Fulton, an acting coach who leads the three main characters through some lessons in the art, with decidedly mixed results. A mixture of comedy and drama ensues, with the three aspiring actors learning some bittersweet lessons in life.
