The head camera man at Fox Films, Shamroy visits Henry Miller at Big Sur, CA, bringing the usual fine food, drink, and Cuban cigars. He takes an instant dislike to Miller's annoying house guest Conrad Moricand, who partakes heartily of his gifts while preparing to analyze him astrologically. Shamroy is raucous and profane. When taken to see Moricand's erotic drawings, Shamroy agrees to buy a few, but Moricand insists that he buy the lot or nothing. Shamroy thinks the Moricand is crazy not to let him show the drawings around and get double the price.
