Agreed. "Matinee" is a lot of fun. Another instance of The Master instructing a newcomer in the show business is "Me and Orson Welles" in which the newbie winds up assisting Welles in his famous Mussolini-inspired version of "Julius Caesar." It's also a period piece, this time from 1937.

OK - now I have to go find that. I got introduced to Welles by his good friend Barry Mahon, who I knew because he was an Eagle Squadron pilot. It was the days of "We will sell no wine before its time," but still - he was Orson Welles!
