The story

The film focuses in part on the problems Altman faced over the course of his filmmaking career, including writing screenplays (he sold a script to RKO for the 1948 picture Bodyguard) after World War II, and working as a director and writer of industrial films for the Calvin Company, and for television. Altman rose to prominence in the 1970s with films such as M*A*S*H and The Long Goodbye, before commercial flops forced a flight to Europe in the 1980s with projects such as Popeye. Then, Altman enjoyed a career revival in the 1990s with The Player.
