Sign of the Lion
A darkly comic portrait of an American drifter in Paris whose delusions and parasitic lifestyle collide with harsh reality, anchored by faith in astrology rather than self-awareness.
An American in Paris lives by sponging off his working friends, and throws a party using borrowed money when his rich American aunt dies, believing firmly in his horoscope.
