Entire script is very staged (literally) as our visiting boozing play writer waits in a small town's train lobby for a ride to a hotel from someone who coincidentally wants to follow in his footsteps. Artist & follower spend the entire movie in the lobby in a forced aggravating discussion on the merits of the profession. No one likable & subject matter is esoteric stage fanatics. Script dishonors the hard work & sacrifice people put in to be productive and achieve their goals.
