Josh Evans wrote and directed this cynical glimpse at power players and hustlers working the shadowy side of the film industry. After his mother's death, talented eccentric Sonny Daye (
William McNamara) arrives on the Hollywood scene. His brother, Franky Syde (
Frank Whaley), confident of Sonny's abilities, allows crass, scurrilous producer Sid Dalgren (
Tony Danza) to see Sonny's journal. Recognizing Sonny's gift, Sid makes moves to manipulate and exploit him. Sid's girlfriend, Vanessa (
Natasha Gregson Wagner), sees Sonny in a different light. The Glam cast includes director Evans' mother,
Ali MacGraw. Some of the Glam character names link with characters introduced in Evans' directorial debut,
Inside the Goldmine (1994), a film that also featured Wagner, the daughter of
Natalie Wood and
Robert Wagner. Shown at the 1997 Vancouver Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
