Contempt
A philistine Jeremy Prokosch, in the art film business is really a manufacturer unhappy with his director's job. Prokosch has hired Fritz Lang (as himself) to lead the adaptation of"The Odyssey," but when it appears that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb at the box office, he brings into a screenwriter to simplify the script. When a rift grows between the writer and his or her wife the professional intersects with the personal.
