			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L.A./Hollywood relived by a suicidal ex-husband ex-producer ex-Jew with a  screenplay.  The screenplay is  fresh off the bus from New Jersey, delivered to Charlie (post suicide) by his 21 year old nephew, Lionel. It is about Disraeli but that doesn&#8217;t matter.  The screenplay is his property, and all Charlie needs to make it (again)  in this town is one property.</p>
<p>The screenplay, nicknamed Ben and Bill, or Bob and Bill, somehow makes itself known to a studio,  an agent, a casting director,  who manage to get a black pro-Israel karate expert to play Disraeli, the Jew.</p>
<p>The characters are mimetic:</p>
<p>The  studio executive assistant has the unwieldy habit of walking to the nearest ladies room, locking the door, and screaming.   (It is always a mistake to actually <strong>read</strong> the screenplay.) We visit with her and her Beverly Hills therapist in intimate one hour sessions,  at which she arrives  hystericized with laughter. The therapist is straight out of <a title="DSMV" href="http://dsmv.org">DSM-V</a> and full of noteworthy advice, relevant to any and all professional women over 35 who work among men. Cut out a small nook of rationality inside the chaos.</p>
<p>The director is paid in  dinar which have been blocked from leaving Yugoslavia, and doesn&#8217;t talk to the actors.  The actors are not worth characterizing.</p>
<p>Prepare to grow a dry grin and giggle while reading.</p>
