In an exposé for The New York Post published Monday, Steven Greenstreet and Tamar Lapin peel the curtain back on the ugly, rather tragic story behind the banned and buried film “Don’s Plum” — the “lost” feature-length film that Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire “fiercely fought for decades to keep it from seeing the light of day” and the failure of which left “ruined careers, destroyed friendships, divorce and thoughts of suicide.”

The film, Greenstreet and Lapin report, is a “Clerks”-esque, largely ad-libbed movie shot over a period of just six days in the mid-1990s starring DiCaprio, Maguire, and some of their other “skirt-chasing” Hollywood pals known as the “P*ssy Posse,” according to a 1998 New York Magazine piece on “Leo Prince of The City.”
