Synopsis

Meet Susie and Jack, wholesale buyers for the McCurdy's chain of Department stores. These two are gunning for the same job: Chief Buyer. Of course the friendly rivals make the classic mistake: They hop in bed together!

Susie and Jack's fates become entwined with a pair of talented young women, Ramona and Nikki.

Ramona is an aspiring trans model & actor. Nikki is writing a draft of her first novel. Both of these ambitious Latinas are making their move as they strive to leave the mean streets behind.

This "what if" take on mid-century Manhattan is the jolly conceit of cartoonist Steve Lafler with his new graphic novel 1956 Movie Star—enjoy as you lean into that transcendent Coltrane solo over a martini just past midnight in New York City, smack in the center of 1956.
