DESCRIPTION
TIFF NOTE
New York 1954, the object of every man's fantasy and the greatest mind of the century are about to meet. Insignificance is a comedy about life, death, sex and the universe...relatively speaking. If you can imagine the following, you will witness the plot of this comedy...while Albert Einstein (Michael Emil) is being threatened in his hotel room by Senator Joe McCarthy (Tony Curtis), Marilyn Monroe (Theresa Russell) arrives. She explains the theory of relativity rather efficiently to its creator and while propositioning the scientist, her husband, Joe DiMaggio (Gary Busey) intervenes to take his wife home with him. He loves his wife too deeply and is jealous of her popularity as an actress. She refuses to leave with him, preferring to spend the night with the trouserless Einstein. -- cassette case
