Description: Writer Mickey King's (Michael Caine) pulp fiction has nothing on the memoirs he is ghostwriting for the abusive Hollywood gangster actor Preston Gilbert (a caffeine-and-Sterodent-powered Mickey Rooney). A page later, on-screen and offscreen worlds are blending, and the big sleep beckons for some. With a stylish Caine accompanied by an unforgettable George Martin score, this hilarious film blows the bloody doors off!
