Julie Andrews, William Holden, Marisa Berenson

A film-within-a-film: a fading movie producer has a plan for a successful movie: get a actress famous for her wholesome image to appear in the nude on the screen.... much like this film itself.

    This movie has an amazing cast and a great deal of potential but it's a little too all over the place.

    But...it has one of my favorite things in the world of movies...Squeaky clean actors I like/love doing/saying inappropriate things!

    Julie Andrews appears topless and says ...( read more)some bad words and, for me, that makes it almost worth recommending.

    I found this hilarious. I loved it and want the DVD. Blake Edward's followed 10 with this and what a film it was. The only reason most people watch this film is because the child friendly all singing, all dancing and loveable disney actress Julie Andrews bares her boobs.....but t...( read more)here are much more reasons to watch this like the oneliners and funny quotes, watching the director loosing his mind because he thinks his movie is going to be crap, julie Andrews' character having a mental breakdown and having to be drugged or drunk in order to get the scene that everyone knows and how well the hollywood stars play off each other. This film is a riot from start to finish. Andrews dare to shake off her disney friendly persona and succeeds where she didn't conquer in 10, Richard Mulligan does a sound job as the director who believes his life is going down the pan, Robert Preston who was also in the rare gem the Last Starfighter shines as the quack who also refers to himself as a quack in one of the films funny scenes. if you can search out this gem, then see it.

    For those who ever have been in the movie industry comes Blake Edwards most funniest movie about the business. For fans of satire and films-within-films only!!!!!!
