A richly comic fantasy in which Picasso and Einstein meet in a bar in 1904 before their larger fame sets in.

Steve Martin has had acclaim for roles in Roxanne, Parenthood, The Man With Two Brains, and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. In addition to his collected comic writings entitled Pure Drivel, and Picasso, he has also written a novella: New York Times bestseller Shopgirl, which was filmed in 2005. |
