... challenge of her life. Her latest play has opened in the West End to rapturous applause from the audience. The reviewers, however, are not as impressed as the playgoers, and their savage notices not only shut down the play but ruin Lowry's last chance for a dramatic career. With her future in London not looking bright, at the suggestion of her friend Peggy Guggenheim, Vivien takes a job as a script doctor on a major film shooting in Rome's Cinecitta Studios.
