Two Weeks in Another Town

From the O. Henry Award–winning author of Rich Man, Poor Man , a struggling actor's last chance becomes an unforgettable Roman holiday. World War II derailed John Andrus's acting career. Marred by a facial scar and burdened by a new family, Andrus works for NATO in Paris. A producer from his past shows up with an attractive acting job—involving two weeks in Rome and a hefty salary. How can he pass it up? In Rome, Andrus quickly realizes that the job is not at all what he expected. Bounced between movie sets, directors, producers, and women, he grows more uncertain of his future with each passing day.
