Tales from Hollywood

Directed by Howard Davies

With Jeremy Irons, Alec Guinness, Charles Durning, Elizabeth McGovern and Robin Bailey

A slightly ironical description of the colony of German artists in Los Angeles, who had to leave their country during the Nazi-regime. A young playwriter (von Horvath) joins them and finds out, that there are gaps between the artistical attitudes and the real live behavior of authors like Thomas or Heinrich Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger or Bertold Brecht.
