Nicolas Roeg\'s classic and critically acclaimed film starring Michael Emil, Theresa Russell, Gary Busey and Tony Curtis. On a hot night in 1954, a professor, an actress, a senator and a ballplayer converge in a New York hotel, their interactions moving fluidly through time in a post-war fable that can only end in destruction. Or does it? Four 1950\'s cultural icons (Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Senator Joseph MacCarthy) are the characters.
