What happens

The Final Curtain is a 2002 British film directed by Patrick Harkins and starring Peter O'Toole. It tells the story of J. J. Curtis, an aging gameshow host played by O'Toole, who hires novelist Jonathan Stitch (Adrian Lester) to pen his autobiography, in the hope of sealing his immortality in the hearts and minds of the British public. This is made more difficult by his rivalry with fellow gameshow host Dave Turner (Aidan Gillen), and events from his past. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
