Product Description:
Academy Award® winner* Richard Dreyfuss "gives a tour-de-force performance" (Los Angeles Times) in this provocative collision of sex and cinema. With "flashes of wit and outrageous black humor" (Los Angeles Times) this seductive story is loaded with "imagination [and] quirky charm" (Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times).In the golden days of silent films genius director Boy Wonder (Dreyfuss) was king of the silver screen. But when talkies took over Tinseltown he took a nosedive right into the sordid business of erotic films. Now with a career in chaos and a dead leading lady (Veronica Cartwright) on his hands the tormented maestro must rise above his artistic impotence and turn his latest X-rated thriller into a class-A masterpiece.*1977: Actor The Goodbye GirlSystem Requirements:Running Time: 115 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NC-17 UPC: 027616927507 Manufacturer No: 1008758

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Portrait of An Artist
John Byrum's 1975 film "Inserts" owes a lot to Hitchcock's 1948 classic "Rope". Although it does not feature Hitchcock's experimental feature length continuous shot, it is nonetheless told in real time. The 115 minute running length is the time needed to tell the story as it is the entire duration of the action on the screen, nicely book-ended by shots of the main character alone in his Hollywood home playing the piano. There are no flashbacks or progression of time sequences, and the camera frame ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Dark Side of Hollywood
The NC-17-rated (for explicit sexuality) INSERTS (1975) was certainly originally conceived by writer-director John Byrum as a stage play. There are only five characters and the entire action takes place over a two-hour period in one room.

Set in Hollywood during the very early 1930s, this mesmerizing drama stars Richard Dreyfuss as a genius director, known as the "Boy Wonder," who has fallen on hard times. No longer able to get work in the "real movies," he lives in his crumbling mansion, ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Less than revealing
One of the most curious fads of the 70s was a sudden obsession with the 1920s and early 30s that was partially fuelled by the expectation that The Great Gatsby would be the next big thing. The Boyfriend, Lucky Lady, Valentino, The World's Greatest Lover, The Great Waldo Pepper, The Wild Party, Paper Moon, At Long Last Love, The Sting - you couldn't move in a cinema in the mid-seventies for all the flappers and gangsters molls. Inserts is one of the oddest examples, looking very much like a filmed play set ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible Movie
If you like small town community theater, student films and eastern European movies with French subtitles you will probably enjoy this film. For myself, watching this film was painful and I am a fan of Dreyfuss and Hoskins.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - "Inserts"...rare gem
..Inserts is a rare gem of a movie. I believe it's the only movie Richard Dreyfus has been in that's rated 'X'.
..Basically, a trip in time back to Old Hollywood just after Wally Reid's funeral. Plenty of 'in jokes' for anyone who has read 'Hollywood Babylon'.
..The 'Boy-Wonder' (Dreyfus) has hit a creative block..he is reduced to doing 'Inserts' (stag movies) in his palatial..though decrepit mansion.
The movie revolves around the interplay of the cast reacting to Wally's funeral.
