Trivia:
It is well known that 'Anthony Perkins' disliked Diana Ross intensely. He felt she was an "amateur" and below his standard as a serious actor. Between takes he insulted her a number of times and in front of the crew. Ross is said to have kept her cool, however and completed the picture with dignity. more

Camp classic of the 70s, 18 May 2004
10/10

You've got to know when to take a movie seriously and when not to. This is definitely a film not to take seriously. You don't watch this movie for the plot you watch it for the 70s retro look. The over the top fashions, some designed by Diana Ross herself are hysterical and totally fun to check out. Anthony Perkins has never been better in this over the top performance of one very strange photographer who can't quite decide whether to make the moves on Diana Ross or her 70s superstar smooth as hot chocolate boyfriend Billy Dee Williams. And how about that hit single, Do You Know Where You're Going To being played throughout the movie? This movie plays like one long Carol Burnett show spoof. Funky, and fine and oh so 70s. You gotta check it out!
