One of those totally underrated and unknown comedy masterpieces, like Avanti, written by Bogdanovich and co-star Blaine Novak, last reviewed here. It remains very fresh and lovable, like a puppy.
PB claims it was made 'in the camera' in fascinating interview by Wes Anderson, clearly a big fan. In this Bogdanovich says it is his favourite of all his films.
Unforgettable cast: Ben Gazzara, Audrey Hepburn, John Ritter, Patti Hansen (who just lights up her scenes and everyone around her), Dorothy Stratten, Blaine Novak, Linda MacEwen, George Morfogen and Colleen Camp ("I can't cook a thing, but I know where everything is").
The director has made She's Funny That Way, co-written with ex-wife Louise Stratten, which has a great cast: Imogen Poots, Owen Wilson, Cybill Shepherd, Joanna Lumley, Lucy Punch, Rhys Ifans... And one of the executive producers and backers is ... Wes Anderson! Can't wait.
