Great premise, great cast, very blandly handled. Alda is insufferably smug as a historian who is horrified to see what Hollywood is doing to the film version of his book when they come to town for filming. Caine has some fun as the randy lead actor, Pfeiffer suitably winsome as the leading lady but unfortunately Alda keeps getting in the way by making his tiresome character centrestage.
