WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Swinging, sexy , smart, and funny!

Of course, it takes a top-notch cast and design team to master the complexities of the show's parallel plots, which concern a screenwriter named Stine (here, the deceptively meek-looking D.B. Bonds) trying to retain artistic control over the film adaptation of his novel about a hard-boiled detective named S[...]
