Wild, full of energy, melodramatic and comic.
Just get this. Vincent Minnelli directed this handsome production that seems to be completely shot in Rome, and also Cinecitta studios, (one of the settings). Kirk Douglas and Ed G. Robinson are the big stars in this. Both Hollywood people, one a director, and the other an oscar winning actor both on the verge of their own personal demises. A chance comes for both of them that brings them together, while you get to hang with them on and off sets with George Hamilton and various stunning Italian beauties. Once this movie gets it's motor going, it's going to knock you over. I don't want to reveal the end, or really, the big scenes near the end, but I will say that now I see where Oliver Stone got his ideas for the fantasy sequences in Natural Born Killers and Rodriquez got his visual style for the car sequences in Sin City. Cyd Charisse plays a real succubus, (if I've spelled that right)...with more danger than Lena Horne in her hottest scenes...and that's saying something. Both gals...
OVER THE TOP ORGY IN ROME!
Che bella citta Roma! Vincent Minnelli's "Two Weeks In Another Town" is pure glamour, trash, camp and Hollywood glitz. In other words it is great fun. Don't go into it expecting anything more than over the top soap opera with the suds on overflow and you won't be disappointed.
Rome takes center stage in the film and is shown in all its "La Dolce Vita" glory of 1962. So much was happening there at this time. The birth of the paparazzi, the filming of "Cleopatra" and the international "Jet Set" had just landed in Rome to make it the fun capital of the world. The film captures all of this with high gloss and a tip of the fedora to Fellini who had first shown a light on the goings on along the Via Veneto a few years earlier.
Kirk Douglas plays a down and out movie star just released from a mental institution / rehab center when he is invited to fly to Rome by his old director and ex friend Edward G. Robinson to take a small comeback part in his epic being filmed at the...
TWO WEEKS IN ANOTHER TOWN
THIS MOVIE ARE VERY INTERESTING STARRING BY KIRK DOUGLAS. HE'S ARRIVING AT ROME WHEN MEETS A DIRECTOR, THAT'S PRODUCING A MOVIE IN CINECITA. THIS DIRECTOR ARE YOUR OLD FRIEND, AND ASKED HIM IF HE WANTS TO HELP HIM IN THIS PRODUCTION. HE HOLDS THIS JOB FOR HELP YOUR OLD FRIEND. AT ONCE, ACTION, ROMANCE AND BETRAYAL ARE DEVELOPING ON THIS SCREEN.
