Not a top notch film even tho the cast is- but enjoyable nonetheless. The thread is now yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankt65 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Not Accident - sorry Clue 2: A director loses control over his movie because he refuses to even consider the starlet who has been suggested for the lead. An amnesia victim with a pocketbook full of cash is discovered - she calls herself Rita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt65 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Clue #3: Rita and the starry-eyed girl go to a diner to try to figure out Ritas true identity. There is a monster lurking behind the diner. Meanwhile the distraught director is advised to meet with a short cowboy with a big hat. At first the director scoffs at the cowboy, but when he agrees with the cowboy he is put back in control of the movie. (I know that these clues are very abstract, but this is a really an abstract film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
