Avec les compliments de l'auteur (1982)
Depuis quelque temps, Ivan Travalian, auteur dramatique, accumule les désastres en tout genre. Sa femme le quitte, lui laissant cinq enfants à charge, dont quatre sont issus des précédents mariages de l'infidèle. Le metteur en scène de sa pièce exige la réécriture de sa dernière oeuvre. Enfin, il tente de convaincre l'actrice Alice Detroit d'en accepter le rôle principal. Après maintes tentatives, il parvient à ses fins et en profite pour devenir l'amant de la belle, qui est pleine de bonne volonté mais supporte difficilement la couvée d'Ivan. Celui-ci, à deux doigts de la crise de nerfs, lui demande de le laisser souffler quelque temps, lorsque Gloria repointe le bout de son nez...
