    not bad indie no budgeter, could be better
    Obviously shot on an Ed Wood budget, but with better acting and far more depth than any Wood film, Famous Again is a sweet, clever story that needs to be better paced. Some of the scenes simply run on too long.Scenes featuring two actors in one room just sitting around talking go on and on and on...... A good editor was badly needed. Icon Quentin Crisp does a cute cameo. Former porn queen Georgina Spelvin shows once again that she has real acting talent, while horror movie cult figure Stephen Geoffreys gives a wonderfully intense, comic performance. With better editing and a few stars(think Jack Lemmon and David Schwimmer as Dad & son) this sweet little story could have been quite good.
