Wings of Fame is a 1990 Dutch English-language comedy fantasy film (released in the UK on 26 April 1991)[1] directed by Otakar Votocek and starring Peter O'Toole, Colin Firth, Marie Trintignant, Andréa Ferréol and Robert Stephens.[2] The script was written by Dutch writer Herman Koch.

Catering of the movie (that was shot partly in Amsterdam's city theater) was done by Jan (the father of Jouke Keizer) from his catering bus parked at the Leidseplein.

Plot

[edit]

A famous movie actor Peter O'Toole claims that he has written a book. As result, a real author, not a very well known writer, vengefully kills him but then dies as a result of an accident. Next, they both find themselves in after-life, where souls of all famous people are gathered.
