The Moon and the Stars is a 2007 romantic drama film starring Jonathan Pryce, Alfred Molina, Catherine McCormack and directed by John Irvin.[1][2]
A wealthy Jewish homosexual film producer (Molina) is making a film based on Puccini's opera Tosca and a famous German diva (McCormack) is cast opposite a difficult English actor (Pryce). As filming gets under way on a sound stage in Rome, World War II in 1939 escalates around them threatening the film's completion.
