Synopsis:
The Last Girl Singer stars an aging, reclusive film legend best known for her sex siren role in Princess of the Pampas. Having deserted Hollywood for Spain to become a cabaret singer, Ila Farrell is manipulated by her ex husband who begs her to appear in his directing comeback, a horror movie, and by a socialite anxious to flaunt a friendships with someone famous. This neighbor agrees to launch Ila's singing career in the nightclub owned by her husband. Opening night is a disaster; Ila disappears and is presumed dead by both of her tormentors. But she is tougher than that and is happily singing anonymously in a cabaret else.

Synopsis:
A prize-winning show dog escapes the tarmac at LaGuardia airport and four desperate lives are entangled in the crisis--a blue collar couple at the end of their rope, an immigrant baggage handler who fears deportation as a terrorist, and an unemployed actress leading the rescue effort. THE REAL TABASCO is comedy as the most deeply serious outcry of desperate people, in their last-chance pursuit of the American dream in dire times. And about the human spirit's never-ending quest for hope in the unlikeliest places.
