Summary
Composer George Antheil, now writing Hollywood film scores and feeling creatively diminished, stands bored at a Brentwood party when he is introduced to actress Hedy Lamarr.
Their conversation quickly shifts from Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique and mechanical synchronisation to his Esquire column, and then to the war, as Lamarr recounts learning about weapons while married to arms dealer Friedrich Mandl.
She explains how radio-guided torpedoes can be jammed due to reliance on a single frequency and says she has a solution but needs someone skilled in mechanical synchronisation.
