Fred N This movie was a period piece about a period piece. Ostensibly it is about a transitional period of cinema, when a former silent movie director had to turn to porn to make a living. But with famous actors and a play-like script, it also shows how Hollywood was trying to adapt to changing mores in the mid 70s. Nudity and foul language and a porn premise with Neil Simon characters and dialogue. Fifty years later, I found it fascinating. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Vin E Jessica Harper is outstanding in this very 70’s experimental, very interesting drama. This would make a great Double Feature with Boogie Nights or Babylon. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review william d Nothing about this movie feels authentic. It didn't feel like the 30s and the actors are obviously characters in a play, not real human beings. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring Richard Dreyfus, Veronica Cartwright, Bob Hoskins, and Jessica Harper. It's the early 1930s and silent movies have become a thing of the past. But there are some who refuse to let the past go. A film director named Boy Wonder says no to get with the times changing and resorts to making adult pictures. All his productions taking place in his decrepit old mansion. He and Harlene live their carefree lives by drinking, taking drugs, and filming. Other candidates show up to take part. Keep in mind there's a lot of talking and a majority of this stays confined to this filmmaker's home. It's also one of the rare NC-17 movies. So it won't be for everyone. I wish I had a better prepared for this. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fabulously well-written, wonderfully acted, one of writer director John Byrum's very best efforts, it's a shame that to this day it remains little seen by most film buffs. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very strange film. feels like a direct adaptation of a play (it's not) and never leaves the room it's set in. Dreyfuss is great and complicated and the movie never gets particularly boring as you might expect, and some of the scenes even get downright good, but it kinda feels like it doesn't know exactly what it's trying to say.
