My Dinner with Herve' (2018)


Made for HBO, airing October 20th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
Based on truths.
The story: It is 1993 in London.
Danny is a writer for a popular magazine although he has been out of work for some time due to his alcoholism.
Working on his sobriety now the magazine is willing to give him another chance.
His current assignment has him traveling to Los Angeles to do two interviews.
One with writer Gore Vidal and the other, with actor Herve' Villechaize...
Danny is not thrilled about either interview but is forced to do them if he wants to keep his job.
The first interview he conducts is with Herve', who Danny does not take seriously at all.
Before rushing off for his next interview, Herve' suggests Danny meet up with him again later, for a great story.
The interview with Vidal does not happen because Danny is late so he decides to meet up with Herve'.
Danny spends the rest of the night getting to know Herve' and his pretty amazing life story.
