This cheapo melodrama was filmed in 1971, long before Mickey Rooney's celebrated comeback via The Black Stallion. Rooney plays a looney film director who acts out his fantasies before an audience of one: an ingenue whom he has kidnapped and spirited away to a deserted movie warehouse. "B"-film perennial Luana Anders also appears in this R-rated thriller. Evidently never released theatrically, B.J. Lang Presents found a home on cable television in the mid-1980s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A must-see for Rooney's phenomenal performance of an utterly mad man who believes he's making a great film but is really holed up in an old film lot building with a young performer as a captive. Layered over the film and paralleled in the plot is the tragic story of Cyrano de Bergerac who dies unloved by his beloved

Mickey Rooney gives a way over the top performance, but at least he does try. It's not a very interesting film, I couldn't seem to develop an interest in the story. Cheesy production.
