brief_description
'A nice gentle subject for a holiday and a come-back: slow pace, a bit of location, girls...' Thus a television director called Armstrong approaches his latest assignment. The feeling of cosy anticipation is short-lived. For the subject turns out to be neither nice nor gentle, but a very troublesome figure called H.G. Wells. -- Cover.
