The real story behind John Travolta's stunning decline: As his latest flop struggles to make even $100, insiders tell TOM LEONARD about the seedy relationship at the heart of his downfall - and what Hollywood really thinks of him behind the scenes
An international criminal kingpin calls up retired master-thief Mason Goddard and makes him an offer he can't refuse.
The Guardian took the plunge and, after noting Travolta had at least ditched his ridiculous hair pieces and finally embraced baldness, witheringly wrote: 'A heart-slowing work of staggering stupidity and charmlessness, ineptly made and quite frankly dull except when its flaws become so egregious you can't help but guffaw.' Emmett is best known for pioneering a genre of films called 'geezer teasers' – low-budget productions which brandish the involvement of an ageing star (including Travolta, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone et al) to pull in investors, only for that actor to barely appear in it, sometimes just for a few minutes.
