Blake Edwards at his best. Takes on his own industry and tells it like it is. Rich satire and fantastic acting by Richard Mulligan especially!
May 21, 2008Big name cast. depicts what probably goes on in Hollywood. No redeeming fetures, no hidden messages, but if you just want to laugh, this is great

I remember seeing this film a long time ago and laughed so much and never forgot it. Not to mention seeing Julie Andrews topless. I love all the actors in this film and am so glad to have this in my gallery of movie comedies. For anyone who likes Blake Edwards movies this is definately one to own.
April 18, 2008The two DVDs I purchased on Amazon arrived in a timely manner in good shape and I will probably order more in the future. Stephen Allen
October 25, 2007| | | One of the best films about Hollywood... | |
This film is one of Blake Edwards's best films, and it's one of the best films ever made about Hollywood. It's filled with some of the most memorable dialogue I've ever heard (my favorite line has to be "you look like 100 pounds of condemned veal"), and it's filled with rich, great performances. Richard Mulligan (a very underrated comic actor) is perfect as Felix, the great producer who's latest film has bombed, which leads to a nervous breakdown. He comes up with the scheme of making his film a porno, and buys it back from the studio. Shelley Winters, Robert Weber, Stuart Margolin, Darrell Vaughn, Loretta Swit, and Larry Hagman all give great performances, but the best ones have to go to Robert Preston, who plays the quack doctor (giving out vitamin shots for everyone, among other things), and William Holden, who plays the cynical yet hilarious Scully (it was his last role). This film was Blake Edwards's revenge on Hollywood for dissing Darling Lili (which was a bomb and re-edited against his wishes). It's one of Blake's best films, along with The Pink Panther Strikes Again and Victor/Victoria. Blake's career died out in the 1990's (with Son of the Pink Panther being his last completed film), but this work reminds us of why he was so good in the first place. The dialogue is filled with dark, biting humour, and the film really hasn't dated much in its depiction of Hollywood politics.
