Circle of Two

Circle of Two is a 1981 Canadian drama film starring Richard Burton as a 60-year-old artist who lost his inspiration when his muse left him 10 years previously, who regains it when he falls in love with a sixteen-year-old played by Tatum O'Neal. It was the last film directed by acclaimed film noir director Jules Dassin. Controversially, O'Neal - sixteen at the time of filming - posed for a topless scene. The film has been distributed by B-movie company Troma Entertainment. It has also been distributed under the title "Obsession." The film was shot in Toronto. Paintings shown in the movie are done by Toronto artist Harold Towne. The film was almost universally ridiculed on its release, and has since then largely been forgotten.
