State and Main (2000)

When the demands of filming in New Hampshire become too exorbitant, the cast and crew of "The Old Mill" pack their bags and relocate their cinematic endeavor to a tranquil Vermont town. Yet tranquility proves elusive as they confront a series of unexpected plot twists off-screen. The quaint old mill, touted as the movie's cornerstone, is discovered to have been reduced to ashes decades ago, leaving the film's landscape dramatically altered. While the authoritative director and his silver-tongued producer grapple with the daunting task of keeping the unravelling production afloat, the stars of the show are wrestling with their own personal demons. The leading man, with an alarming penchant for young girls, struggles to keep his desires under wraps, while the leading lady, a beacon of modesty, vehemently resists baring herself on screen. Amidst the pandemonium, an idealistic screenwriter teeters on the brink of a moral crisis, torn between preserving his principles and securing his career. Meanwhile, the seemingly naïve locals of the Vermont town are not as easily hoodwinked as they first appear. In this whirlwind of chaos and comedy, "State and Main" weaves a tale of a film production spiralling into an absolute circus, shedding light on the unforeseen drama that can unfold when Hollywood descends on small-town America.

State and Main is a comedy movie featuring Alec Baldwin and directed by David Mamet.
