A Bad Year For Tomatoes

This comedy deals with the very funny misfortunes of a famous television actress who seeks to get "away from it all" in a small New England Town. Fed up with the pressure and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven, and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy, omnipresent neighbors is a different matter.
