Trivia
The movie was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards, for Worst Director - Blake Edwards and Worst Screenplay but failed to win either. Ironically, it was also nominated for the Best Comedy Award by the Writers Guild of America. The movie was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical. Again, the movie won neither. See more »Goofs

Tim Culley: It's been my experience that every time I think I know "where it's at," it's really somewhere else.See more »
I "discovered" this movie on cable in the mid-late 80's and immediately fell in love with it. It's witty, scathingly funny and some of it is so rapid-fire that it requires viewing multiple times to catch all that is being said. I heard some Hollywood type espousing once that "stereotypes are only stereotypes because they're true." We've all seen the stereotypical, ego-centric Hollywood agents and other sycophants portrayed in various movies/shows/etc. but rarely have they all been assembled in one hysterical place and portrayed by such a star-studded rogues gallery! Robert Preston is my favorite as the perpetually drunk/stoned quack doctor, and William Holden's last performance as the aged, burned-out director is particularly poignant when he gives a brief speech of "encouragement" to Felix (Richard Mulligan) about consciously trying to kill himself with drugs, booze and sexual excesses for the past 40 years. So some of the "moments of truth" are not just realizations about the business itself, but about the actors playing the roles. An all-around great movie.
