Movie Reviews of S.O.B.
Movie Review: A hoot!!
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to give Blake Edwards and his courageous cast credit for having the nerve to make this film. It is irreverent, often over the top, and is pretty merciless in commenting on the Hollywood system. This film is not his masterpiece, but certainly one of his most personal statements. The picture quality of the DVD is excellent--good color, good definition, etc. The sound is so-so but, since it isn't a musical, that doesn't really matter too much. Supposedly, Edwards worked on this screenplay for years, as a reaction to the treatment he and his wife received from Paramount--especially during and after the filming of their mega-flop, "Darling Lili." Most folks now agree that "Lili" is a darned-good film and exhibits some of Edwards' and Andrews' best traits. When can we see this film on DVD?? And why not package it with with S.O.B. as a double set!!!Movie Review: One of the best parodies of Hollywood ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a fan of the Pink Panther movies, but this movie has to be Blake Edwards' best work ever. It is an ubber-dark comedy about the business of making movies that leaves no sacred cow unmolested. I don't believe it's possible to love this movie too much.
The acting is amazing, from Richard Mulligan to Robert Preston, from William Holden to Julie Andrews (who, once and for all buries her Mary Poppins image with a topless scene) to the host of cameos and guest shots by many recognizable 70s and 80s supporting stars. And the script is as absurd as it is flawless. I particularly love the one daisy chain of telephone calls between stars, agents and studio bosses, in which each is involved in their own particular sexual pecadillo during the calls.
This is a classic.

THIS is in hopeful anticipation...! The VHS, and even the film on TV...sounds awful ! As if it were in a tunnel...going by you.PLEASE...get the sound remastered on this DVD. THEN, I suppose in six months it will be re-released...with special features ? !
THIS FILM IS A CLASSIC...and I'm not even a fan. The timing, the level of respect the director holds for us, his audience...never looking down, or underestimating us. The script, the acting...ALL top-notch. so, " Let us pray "...for clean sound.

Movie Review: S.O.B. = Standard Operational Brilliance
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie I saw on cable when I was a child and I thought it was hilarious then. I found it on Amazon and bought it, watched it, and it's still hilarious. It was one of the first movies I saw that was set in Hollywood. Others would come later (Postcards From The Edge, Death Becomes Her) and it stands up with all the others. Brilliant, funny, genius (oh, and for no other reason I love it...Mary Poppins shows her boobs!). If you loved Postcards and Death Becomes Her, you'll definitely love this one!
