Trivia:
During the shooting of the film, James Ivory called one of the takes of a scene with Raquel Welch "a bit dull" and asked for a retake. Because of this, Welch walked off the set and refused to return until Ivory apologized to her in front of the entire cast and crew. Ivory capitulated and they continued with the scene. moreQuotes:

I was looking forward to a sort of Fatty Arbuckle scandal on which this film is supposedly based, but my interest waned with each passing minute and each extended song. This has a great cast but it just kind of meanders along and just isn't very good. James Coco plays a fading star who is looking at making a comeback, and he throws a "wild" party at his place, but apparently most of the wildness took place off screen and in private rooms, away from the camera. Instead we have lots of singing and dancing which is fine, if that's what you like, I guess, but not I. There is sort of a build-up as Coco is attracted to a young innocent woman who was sent there to become a star, but by that point I couldn't take anymore and had stopped the film and placed it gently in the trade-in pile. VERY disappointing, 4 out of 10.
