Short description

A movie producer who made a huge flop tries to salvage his career by revamping his film as an erotic production, where its family-friendly star takes her top off.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Julie Andrews played Sally Miles, a character who in many ways resembles the actress herself. Like Andrews, Miles appeared in many family and children's movies, becoming firmly associated with such films in the eyes of the audience. Much like Andrews, Miles desperately wanted to break free from her usual image.
  • According to Robert Vaughn, his character (he played David Blackman) was based on the legendary producer Robert Evans.
  • To a certain extent, the film is based on the director, writer, and producer Blake Edwards' creation of the romantic comedy 'Dear Lily' (1970) and the Western 'Wild Rovers' (1971).
  • It was intended that Orion Pictures would sponsor both this film and another Blake Edwards project titled 'The Ferret,' in which Edwards would again cast Dudley Moore (who had previously starred for Edwards in the 1979 romantic comedy '10'). As a result of a conflict arising over the budget for 'The Ferret,' Orion Pictures withdrew from both projects, and this film passed to Lorimar.
  • The plot, in which the characters played by Robert Preston, William Holden, and Robert Webber steal the corpse of a character played by Richard Mulligan, is based on a true story. Director Raoul Walsh once bribed a funeral home owner to "borrow" the body of the deceased actor John Barrymore. He placed the corpse in a chair so that a drunken Errol Flynn (a Hollywood actor of Australian origin and a sex symbol of the 1930s and 40s) would stumble upon it.
  • The last theatrical release featuring William Holden, who played Tim Callighan. The actor passed away shortly after filming was completed.
