Storyline
Having left New Hampshire over excessive demands by the locals, the cast and crew of "The Old Mill" moves their movie shoot to a small town in Vermont. However, they soon discover that The Old Mill burned down in 1960, the star can't keep his pants zipped, the starlet won't take her top off, and the locals aren't quite as easily conned as they appear. Written by Jon Reeves <jreeves@imdb.com>

Trivia
The reason for the Crazy Credit "A complete list of associate producers is available on request" is that, throughout the film, anyone who could help make the film-within-the-film was given an associate producer credit. See more »Goofs
Near the end of the movie, a Boston Commuter Rail train appears in what is supposed to be Vermont. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
At the very end of the closing credits, immediately following a brief jazzy instrumental, a voice (David Mamet) says, "Once more, and can you try to play the notes this time." See more »Soundtracks

What a disappointment. Stick with House of Games or The Spanish Prisoner or Glengarry, etc. Better movies about making movies have been made (The Stuntman for one) and I just didn't think this was funny. It was tedious and some terrific actors couldn't save it. Pass.
