A series of snapshots from the life of a fictional actress named Shirley serves to weave together thirteen paintings by Edward Hopper (e.g. \"Office at Night\", \"Western Motel\", \"Usherette\", \"A Woman in the Sun\") into a fascinating synthesis of painting and film, personal and political history.
