It's been years since Blake Edwards made a funny film, and this 1981 effort may have been one of his last consistent laugh producers. Richard Mulligan plays a Hollywood producer who realizes that his career may be over when the public sees his latest film: a big-budget musical that lands on test audiences with a thud. In a moment of madness, he hits upon the idea of reediting it to include soft-porn reshoots--including a shot of his movie-star wife (Julie Andrews), who has a squeaky clean public image, baring her breasts (which the squeaky clean Andrews actually does). Scathing in its satire of Hollywood numbskullery, the film features terrific performances by Mulligan, Robert Preston, and William Holden (in his last film). --Marshall Fine

This movie is a gem! It is one of the darkest, funniest movies ever. Who knew Richard Mulligan had it in him?
Blake Edwards is a genius, and Julie Andrews is also marvelous in this film. "Victor/Victoria" is more well known, but this movie is funnier.
My favorite line:
Loretta Swit: Get out of here you shyster!
Robert Preston: Now Polly, I could sue you for slander! A shyster is a disreputable lawyer. I'm a Quack!

DVD arrived quickly and my husband was thrilled. Hadn't seen it in years and a relative of his is in the movie. Thanks!

S.O.B. The film is very funny and has a very good cast. It is well worth the price paid. I shared it with my family and friends and they had the same opinion as I.

SOB is as good a send-up of Hollywood as any, easily better than The Player. Three extraordinary performances from William Holden, Robert Preston and Robert Mulligan hold the movie together in a veteran manic-comic mode that rocks back and forth between sly satire and outrageous farce. There is genuine corruption in all the characters and then there's Hollywood's special corruption centered in Robert Vaughn and Loretta Swit. It's a delicious film, lavishly turned out and patiently played. The Larry Storch funeral oration run in parallel with the Viking Funeral turns things upside down, as they should be.

If you're looking to see Julie Andrews in a role such as Maria in the Sound of Music, don't buy this dvd. S.O.B. has nudity (a brief topless shot of Julie included...), sexual innuendo at every turn, drugs, homosexual references, sex-implied acts, profanity and bribery. But it's also a fast and funny story about a marriage that's crumbling amid the chaos of Hollywood and the friendships that swirl around it.
With lots of big name actors including William Holden, Richard Mulligan, Robert Preston, Larry Hagman, Shelly Winters, and Julie Andrews to name a few, S.O.B. is a movie that is still relevant. Hollywood egos still power the money-making machine, and people still give lip service to carrying about what happens to each other even while stabbing each other in the back.
The hypocracies of Hollywood are under a magnifying glass and it ain't all pretty, but it is funny!
