Waiting for Guffman backdrop

Waiting for Guffman 1996 Directed by Christopher Guest

There's a good reason some talent remains undiscovered.

Aspiring director Corky St. Clair and the marginally talented amateur cast of his hokey small-town musical production go overboard when they learn that Broadway theater agent Mort Guffman will be in attendance.
