Opening Night is a 1977 psychological drama directed by John Cassavetes, who also wrote the screenplay.

Ben Gazzara, Joan Blondell, John Cassavetes, and Paul Stewart round out the cast. The narrative follows her struggle to move forward while processing the trauma of a fan’s death, creating an intimate portrait of an artist confronting her own fragility and mortality.
