Frustrated by the lack of opportunities afforded women in the British record industry, an ambitious girl strikes out to realise her aspirations in the City of Dreams: Los Angeles, only to be swept into a surreal world of phoney glamour, drugs, music, bizarre egos and a place so awash with wealth that one’s fantasies that anything is possible appear as real to its inhabitants as mirages do in the desert.
Michael Armstrong's extraordinary take on Los Angeles after his move there in 1984. Commissioned to be an L.A. version of Fellini's controversial satire on the paparazzi world of Rome in La Dolce Vita, Armstrong translates the Italian classic into an equally biting satire on the Hollywood dream manifest in the music industry in this witty and powerful screen play. Published here in its original form, complete and uncut with a detailed writing history including the reasons why, sadly, it was never realised on film.
