The story

In 1929, 25-year-old Brooklyn native Moss Hart lives with his parents and works through the summer so he can devote the winter months to writing plays. He is encouraged by his friend Joe Hyman, who provides both moral support and occasional financial assistance. Eventually, after four years and five attempts at serious drama, he takes the advice of agent Richard Maxwell and "discards the mantle of O'Neill and Ibsen and Shaw" to write a comedy, Once in a Lifetime.
