520 | _aTimmy McIntyre was once a popular film performer, but at age nine, he was a has-been. Now in his 30s, he survives by doing bits on TV. On his way to an audition, he passes by where a murder was committed the night before. Timmy had met the female victim, and the police soon make him their prime suspect. At the audition, he gives a fine performance, but is competing against two wonderful actors. Disheartened, he takes a job showing property for a couple of elderly, eccentric sisters. He also gets involved with a beautiful actress whose rapacious ambitions and carnivorous sexual appetite draw him like a moth closer to her inflammable personality. Attempts are soon made on the lives of the other finalists, and the police zero in on Timmy, tracking him through what seems a hall of mirrors. Prone to hallucinating, Timmy is unsure of whether he is actually the murderer himself. Eventually, the one-time child star makes a great comeback-but it costs him something he can never replace. | ||
