This stood out to me:

> Schwartz - Robb has one directing credit: the notorious indie film Don’s Plum, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. The two actors successfully prevented the film, shot before they became stars, from being released in the U.S. To this day, it has never been legally shown outside of Europe.

Wow… I can see why they don’t want a wide audience. Reminds me of those “edgy” / “avant garde” movies made by college students.

I just fast forwarded to some part in the middle - is that Kevin Connolly in it also?

Probably the scene where dicaprio puts in the fake buck teeth and does a rather, insensitive, impersonation of a handicapped person about an hour in

The worst part is, I thought her did good in that. I don't want to see it again, but it was a good film.

Maguire and DiCaprio, who've been best friends for over 30 years, first met in 1990 during the casting for Parenthood, a one-season TV spin-off series based on director Ron Howard's movie starring Steve Martin (before it was revived for TV — successfully — in 2010)
