The final shot of the film (an overview of the crowd gathered to hear Brian's speech) shows Tracy rushing up to Brian and madly embracing him, but moments earlier they had already walked up to each other in the middle of that crowd and kissed. See more »Quotes

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!
