S.O.B.

Meer oor hierdie fliek

Felix Farmer's (Richard Mulligan) latest movie flops -- and lots of Hollywood types spring into action. Agents are called. Lawyers are retained. Statements are issued. It's what master comedy director Blake Edwards calls "Standard Operating Bull," the subject of his gleefully satiric S.O.B.
Julie Andrews is a wholesome superstar about to alter her image...radically. Aiding and abetting the madness are William Holden, Robert Preston, Robert Vaughn, Shelley Winters, Loretta Swit and more. Dialogue crackles like fat in a fire, gags range from dead-on deadpan to comedic broadsides, insights bristle and sting. Nothing standard here: S.O.B. is extraordinary.

Excellent Film!! Blake Edwards gives a last look at Old Hollywood, showing the viewers just how cut-throat the industry is, while creating, a never before seen gaze at a topless Julie Andrews, the G-rated film star. Along with an all-star cast, this film is Priceless! Also William Holden's last film.

It still holds up after all these years. It's always great to revisit this movie. I love Robert Preston!

My all time favorite. Can't find anything to watch then this is the cure
