    • Trivia
      Dame Elizabeth Taylor remained seated for most of her performance and was wheeled onto the set in a chair. "I can't walk a long distance, so everybody sees me in a wheelchair and thinks I'm sick", she told TV Guide. "If you had broken your back three times, you couldn't stand very long (either)."
    • Quotes

      Kate Westbourne: I know a friend who lipoed her stomach once. A few months later, she looked like Jabba the Hutt.

      Miriam: Who's Jabba the Hutt?

      Addie Holden: It's a sea slug, Mummy, from outer space and it's not a compliment.

    • Alternate versions
      Originally broadcast on television and released on VHS in an improper full-screen 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Released on DVD in the correct wide-screen 1.77:1 format.

    Hysterical!
    I have always been a big fan of all the ladies but not particularly of Joan Collins, I wasn't as familiar with her work and never knew she had such a great sense of humor. I LOVED this movie!!!! All the under remarks were the best knee-slapping part of the entire film! Everyone of the ladies were fantastic, poking fun at themselves and laughing and I just could not stop laughing! I wish I had taped it! I hope this is one tv movie that will be available for sale. Neither my husband nor myself wanted this movie to be over - what a great job everyone! The writers wrote great material and those old broads pulled it off grandly! Thank you for a great night of comedy!!!!! And thank you for laughing at yourselves. That wig scene that Debbie Reynolds did, the look on her face when she realized her wig was off, ohmygosh, I thought I was going to bust a gut! And Joan Collins, when she saw Debbie's wig was off....oh gosh, we had tears running down our faces we were laughing so hard! Then the cat fight with Shirley McLaine.....I just can't tell you how our sides are hurting today from laughing so. Thanks again, it was GREAT!!!!!
