Description:
Overnight Sensation, a 1984 short film by Jon Bloom, is inspired by W. Somerset Maugham's story "The Colonel's Lady." When housewife Eve Peregrine unexpectedly becomes a literary sensation with her first novel, her husband George, a successful fashion photographer, struggles with the attention she receives. His discomfort deepens as he grows suspicious that the passionate romance in her book mirrors events in her own life. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Film.
