La Nuit américaine (1973)
Ferrand, célèbre metteur en scène, commence le tournage de son nouveau film, « Je vous présente Pamela », aux studios de la Victorine, à Nice. Il a rassemblé autour de lui Bertrand, son producteur, Alphonse, le jeune premier, Julie Baker, une actrice américaine dépressive accompagnée de son mari, le docteur Nelson, Séverine, qui noie les outrages de l'âge dans la boisson, Alexandre, un acteur quinquagénaire et, bien sûr, toute son équipe technique. Le tournage se révèle long et difficile, d'autant plus que tous ces personnages accumulent intrigues, passions et éclats, devant et derrière les caméras…
