Helene Shaw (Susan Sarandon) is directionless when she arrives in the small town of North Crawford. Harry Nash (Christopher Walken) is a meek hardware store clerk who by night transforms into iconic characters of the stage. When Helene is cast alongside Harry in a community theater production of A Streetcar Named Desire, it kicks off a passionate romance. However, as they get to know one another the lines between their characters and real life blur. Who Am I This Time? is an examination of performances we put on in our everyday lives. This made-for-TV film, originally broadcast on PBS as a part of the American Playhouse series, was adapted from a Kurt Vonnegut story. Jonathan Demme, hot off of the award-winning Melvin and Howard, directs with his usual humanist sensibility. Who Am I This Time? is TV entertainment at its peak with an all-star team in front of and behind the camera.
