Ernest Hemingway’s short story depicts a teen who reconnects with her horse trainer father, who has been absent for fourteen years.

The time is 1929. The place is Broadway. Moss Hart, one of the greatest playwrights of the American theater, struggles until he begins a lifelong collaboration with Samuel Kaufman, raising the curtain on one of the theater's most prolific teams: For Moss Hart, success begins--Act One. Hart (George Hamilton) writes dark, unproduced dramas and directs local theater comedies. But only when he writes a comedy and a producer teams him with Samuel S. Kaufman (Academy Award winner Jason Robards) does Hart find commercial success with Once in a Lifetime and a lifelong collaborative partnership destined to produce a string of hits.
