Synopsis

A café worker longs for acceptance among the artists and poets he serves. His attempt at sculpture takes an appalling turn, yet the result wins the admiration he wanted. Maintaining his new reputation demands increasingly terrible choices.

Behind the scenes

Roger Corman accepted a very small budget, a five-day schedule and reused sets. These limits helped shape a compact horror comedy that also satirises artistic prestige and the hunger for recognition.
