THE DAY OF THE LOCUST (1975)

JOHN SCHLESINGER

Plot

'The Day Of The Locust' is a harrowing fable about delusion and false hope delving into the lives of those trying to achieve the glamorous lifestyle of pre-war Hollywood. The story revolves round an art director trying to get work, who falls for his young actress neighbour, her attempts to become a movie star and the men in her life. Donald Sutherland plays the estranged and deeply religious but now famously named Homer Simpson.
