Alan King stars as Kreplich.
Life is getting complicated for Broadway playwright Ivan Travalian (Pacino). His flaky wife Gloria (Weld) is moving in with her lover, his director hates his new play and his leading lady (Cannon) is a terrified movie star who’s never been on the stage. With five children to look after (most of them Gloria’s), a budding romance with his leading lady, and a producer (Alan King) demanding a rewrite, it’s no wonder the emotionally and financially unstable Ivan starts to exhibit all kinds of irrational behavior.
