Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Jeremy is a book editor in a London publishing company and is sent on a pointless mission, in Jeremy's opinion, to a small town in Tuscany, Italy, to sign up Weldon, who hasn't written anything in 20 years. He eventually finds him and gives him his pitch - getting nowhere. But at least he gets to meet his cute, single daughter, Isabella. He meets her later in town, where she advises him to be honest to her dad. The second attempt is even worse. However, just before leaving for London, the appearance of another, arrogant novelist brings Jeremy back on track with Weldon. Written by Scott Filtenborg |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Jeremy first finds Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel) in his wine cellar, Parish turns towards him, brings his arm across his chest, and says "Klaatu barada nikto." This phrase originated in the 1951 science-fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, when aliens stop the planet Earth and warn its inhabitants that they must cooperate or the planet must be destroyed. The 2008 remake starred Keanu Reeves, who insisted that the line be included. [N.B. if you have subtitles turned on for this film, it is likely that they will read something like "says a foreign language." ] See more » |
| Goofs | In the bar, when Jeremy offers to buy Weldon and his card playing friends a drink, the wine carafe in the middle of their table is almost empty. Jeremy sits down, and Weldon then proceeds to pour him a glass from a suddenly magically filled wine carafe. See more » |

| Quotes |
Weldon Parish:
The sun sets, slowly, igniting the sky in fiery shades of red and orange. In the distance, dark clouds rolled over the horizon, riding the summer winds. Soon they would give way to night. And with it would come the silence that washes over everything. See more » |
