Vincente Minnelli's TWO WEEKS IN ANOTHER TOWN, (a sort-of companion piece to the director and star's 1952 classic The Bad And The Beautiful) premieres in New York. Loosely adapted from Irwin Shaw's same-titled 1960 novel by Charles Schnee, Kirk Douglas stars as a washed up, rehabbed movie star who travels to Rome to try to reboot his career with a role in a director friend's movie. A florid, high camp melodrama steeped in self pity, vitriol and guilt, backdropped by the fading decadence of the eternal city's La Dolce Vita. With Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor, Cyd Charisse and Dahlia Lavi.
