Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Caine only agreed to be in the film if the director also cast Denholm Elliott. Caine had known Elliott since they appeared in 'Alfie' (1966), 26 years previously, and Elliott had confided in Caine that he had AIDS and didn't have long to live. Knowing this was likely to be Elliott's last chance of a paycheck Caine insisted on his inclusion. Elliott died just a few months after the theatrical release of the movie of complications from AIDS.
- GoofsWhen the viewer see the show from the stage, fake walls are visible behind all the doors. When the viewer sees the show from backstage, those fake walls are missing from all the upstairs doors, although present for the downstairs doors. This is not actually a mistake; this is how an actual stage production is presented, and the top floor of the set rear needs to be seen clearly or half the action would be obscured.
Featured review
You may have to see it a few times to catch it all, as it is very fast paced, but there's not very many movies that have made me laugh so much. An amazing cast with amazing acting. Often overlooked is the ability to maintain character without busting up laughing at what your co-star is doing...especially during long takes, which this movie has many of. The late, great John Ritter's performance is the glue that holds it all together, and Michael Caine's depiction of the pained and tormented director is brilliant. It is also a great show of diversity for the late Christopher Reeve, who is much more Clark Kent than Superman in this show. Nicolette Sheridan in her undies is certainly not hard to look at either!
Highly recommended...but don't just see it once, as I wrote before. It was a bit confusing on my first one. It is also fairly family-friendly, with only a couple obscenities exclaimed by Michael Caine in hilariously funny moments of frustration.
