Cast: Jacqueline Bisset, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Valentina Cortese, Jean Champion, Dani, Jean-Pierre Leaux, Alexandra Stewart, François Truffaut, Nike Arrighi.Summary: A committed film director struggles to complete his movie while coping with a myriad of crises, personal and professional, among the cast and crew. The leading lady is recovering from a nervous breakdown, another performer is soused on the set, trade unions threaten to walk, shooting must somehow finish before the insurance lapses and a cat needed in a scene can't hit it's mark. Is this any way to make a movie? "Day for night" is François Truffaut's sly humorous bouquet to movies and the people who make them.
