The Bar
10 minutes Comedy
A film noir comedy about love, life, tulips and xylophones. “The Big Sleep” meets “Airplane!"
Intended Audience: Teen
Whiskey music plays in a seedy bar, where pool sharks roam and the liquor flows like forgotten tears. Mac is a down-on-his-luck writer, and Adeline is a hooker with a heart of gold. Together they find escape from their pasts (if only for one night), in this film noir comedy about love, life, tulips and xylophones. “The Big Sleep” meets “Airplane!"
