When it is performed at Exit In by Tom Frank, the dedication to “someone kinda special who just might be here tonight” leads Opal, Linnea, and LA Joan to all believe that it is meant for them. The lyrics “It’s not my way to love you just when no one’s looking” and “Don’t lead me on if there’s nowhere for you to take me” are especially ironic given that the singer is a cruel womanizer.

He formed his own Hollywood production company, Haworth – which earned $2 million a year – and cast Marin Sais opposite himself in such films as The City of Dim Faces and Bonds of Honor. He portrayed an artist who thinks that his wife is a mythical beast in The Dragon Painter and became a sex symbol with the role of Hishuru, who declares Edith Hardy to be his property after branding her.

The first movie about him was a 1923 silent starring Carlyle Blackwell, and he has also been portrayed onscreen by, among others, Ralph Richardson, Ray Milland, Walter Pidgeon, and 7 times by John Howard.

She played the wife of a director targeted by HUAC in Guilty By Suspicion and has an All About Eve-type relationship with Avice in a movie based on a W. Somerset Maugham novel.

In yet another role, she has an affair with Buddy Kane, the “Real Estate King.” Oscar-nominated as Myra Langtry in The Grifters, this is, FTP, what co-star of The Great Outdoors, Mars Attacks!, Running with Scissors, and Being Julia who portrayed potential First Lady Sydney Ellen Wade in The American President and appeared in Love Affair and Bugsy opposite her husband, Warren Beatty?

Arthur Lowe dons blackface as an African dictator, and an old guy who advises the hero, “Try not to die like a dog” is one of Ralph Richardson’s two parts. Musician Alan Price performs several numbers commenting on the action, and the main character ends up bedding one of Price’s groupies, played by Helen Mirren. Eventually Mick Travis goes to audition for a film with the same title as the one he is in and meets director Lindsay Anderson – who slaps him across the face.

A song about her earned Jim Dale an Oscar nod for lyrics like “Who needs a perfect lover when you’re a mother at heart?” and “Though he’s not a dream come true, at least he’s a millionaire,” referencing her loveless marriage to a man played by James Mason.
