In 1973, director-on-the-rise Peter Medak nabbed comic genius and box-office star Peter Sellers for his new comedy, "Ghost in the Noonday Sun". But Sellers immediately began sabotaging the film. While the actual behind-the-scenes were funnier and more bizarre than the film itself, the filmmaking was an excruciating experience that threatened the sanity and career of its director. Medak revisits the ill-fated production to exorcise his demons in this tragicomic documentary.
