S.O.S. Fantasmi (1988)
Il film racconta la storia del più giovane direttore di un network televisivo americano, Francis Xavier Cross (Bill Murray), persona estremamente cinica ed egoista che cerca di raggiungere l'apice della propria carriera, preparando un grande musical dedicato alla novella di Charles Dickens Canto di Natale, che andrà in onda la notte della vigilia di Natale. Il suo unico scopo è quello di raggiungere il successo personale usando sistemi estremamente dittatoriali e licenziando senza pensarci i suoi collaboratori rei di essere incompetenti ai suoi occhi.
Direttore: Richard Donner
