Synopsis

In the 1980s twin brothers Austin and Howard Mutti-Mewse, teenagers living in leafy New Malden, England, connect to a group of iconic film stars of the golden ages of Hollywood through a series of letters.
After making contact with stars including Bette Davis, Marlene Dietrich, Lana Turner, James Stewart and Elizabeth Taylor, all of whom had reached the twilight of their careers, the pair established a regular rapport with the group that took them all the way to a BBQ at Frank Sinatra’s house.
Inspired by Austin and Howard Mutti-Mewse’s nonfiction book 'I Used To Be In Pictures: An Untold Story of Hollywood'
