Wiki.
Act One is a 1963 American film written and directed by Dore Schary, and starring George Hamilton. It is the film version of the 1959 autobiographical book Act One by playwright Moss Hart. A play based on the book premiered on Broadway in 2014.
George Hamilton later complained that "Schary de-ethnicized the entire production and took out the brilliance for good measure".
