Act One

Drama · 1963NOT RATED

The time is 1929. The place is Broadway. Moss Hart, one of the greatest playwrights of the American theater, struggles until he begins a lifelong collaboration with Samuel Kaufman, raising the curtain on one of the theater's most prolific teams: For Moss Hart, success begins--Act One. Hart (George Hamilton) writes dark, unproduced dramas and directs local theater comedies. But only when he writes a comedy and a producer teams him with Samuel S. Kaufman (Academy Award winner Jason Robards) does Hart find commercial success with Once in a Lifetime and a lifelong collaborative partnership destined to produce a string of hits.
