Curtain Call AKA It All Came True (1998)


Released December 5th in the US.
Filmed in New York and Washington DC.
The story: Stevenson Lowe is a working stiff who doesn't have a clue about much except what he does for a living.
His girlfriend has convinced him that he needs a bigger place so the two find a ridiculously beautiful old house that hasn't been lived in, in about 30 something years.
He buys the house but because he is wishy-washy and doesn't give his girl any real straight answers about their relationship, he is constantly having to apologize, chase her down and make amends with her.
Soon Stevenson finds that he isn't just part-time sharing his home with his girlfriend.
In fact, there is a couple of old stages and film stars dwelling in the home as well.
