Review of S.O.B. (1981) by Jeremy S — 04 Jun 2010
When I first saw this film I couldn't help but notice how chaotic it was. Blake Edwards' comedies are always slapstick, but this movie was more like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Just a storyline that's all over the place or straight out of a Seinfeld episode.
At least the characters are interesting. The cast features an ancient-looking William Holden in one of his last roles. he plays a (big surprise here) a womanizing swinger who beds more tail than a fur trapper.
There's a young Larry Hagman before he played JR and lost his kidneys. There are all kinds of small bit roles by some notable actors and actresses, including Robert Loggia, Robert Vaughn and Richard Mulligan, who plays a director who can't make Hollywood happy until he dies (sound familiar?) On top of all that you have Julie Andrews doing a topless scene.
Yes, you read that right. Mary Poppins is topless in this movie. Think I am lying. Watch it for yourself. No body double, either (And they're really nice!).
