Arrived in early-'60s L.A. to open his own used car lot-and swiftly becoming bored with it-charismatic salesman Richard Hudson (Patrick Warburton) decides what he really wants to do is get into the film business. Amazingly, he wheedles a major studio into accepting the dark and unmarketable screenplay he crafted-but he won't be prepared to deal with their interference. Odd indie take on the Charles Willeford potboiler co-stars Eugene Roche, Emily Newman, Marilyn Rising. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; alternate color version "The Art of Insanity" (1999); featurettes; theatrical trailer.
