As such, he wants to direct his just-completed third play, “God of Our Fathers”, insider scuttlebutt being that it may very well make David the toast of Broadway. With David having no directing history, David’s regular producer, Julian Marx, can’t find any investors,… until a single investor who will finance the entire production comes onto the scene. He is Nick Valenti, a big-time mobster, with the catch being that his dimwitted girlfriend, non-actress Olive Neal, get the lead role. A hesitant David and Julian, who are able to talk Nick into them giving Olive one of the two female supporting roles instead.
