Curtain Call 1999 PG-13, 94 min. Genre: Comedy
Director: Peter Yates Cast: James Spader, Polly Walker, Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Buck Henry, Sam Shepard, Frank Whaley, Marcia Gay Harden, Frances Sternhagen, Peter Maloney
In this made-for-TV film, James Spader plays successful publisher Stevenson Lowe who upsets his long-time girlfriend Julia (Polly Walker) when he buys a townhouse to move into alone. After moving in, Stevenson finds his new residence haunted by a pair of bickering actor ghosts (Michael Caine and Maggie Smith) who had once lived there. Despite the plot and actors, this movie deserves its "bomb" rating. 1 User Review

| | Anonymous 03/07/2007 | | Really enjoyed seeing James Spader's comedic talents. Michael Caine and Maggie Smith were priceless. I can't figure out why this went to TV when it was filmed for the Theater? It's really not the bomb some people think it is. |
