Short Synopsis: Somewhere between “This Is Spinal Tap!,” “That’s Entertainment!,” and “Sunset Boulevard,” this unique Hollywood biopic is a life-and-times chronicle of one of our greatest directors — Oskar Knight.
Lenny Von Dohlen (“Twin Peaks,” “Tender Mercies”) brings the iconic director stirringly to life — a legend of American cinema, forgotten by many, but remembered here by such real-life stars as Oscar winner Margaret O’Brien, International Emmy winner David Suchet, Joaquim de Almeida, Kristina Anapau, Julianna Guill, Rudolf Martin, Randall Batinkoff, Lawrence Pressman, Maya Stange, Noel Neill, Jon Provost, and many more.
He probably never should have made “Oskar Knight’s Moby Dick.” But he did make “They Came in Low.”
It’s the story of Oskar Knight.
