Day for Night

on BBC Two England

Film. Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Valentina Cortese, Francois Truffaut, who died in October, had a lifelong love affair with cinema.
Day for Night, his affectionate celebration of film-making, shows him at his best - both as director and actor. The film is set in the Victorine Studios in Nice, where "Meet Pamela" is being shot. Truffaut plays a harassed film director struggling with intransigent financial backers and a maelstrom of emotional crises among his cast and crew.
