S.O.B.

Actors:  Richard Mulligan, Julie Andrews, Robert Vaughn, Robert Preston, William Holden, Robert Webber, Larry Hagman
Rating: 9 out of 10, great, scathing send up of Hollywood with simply awesome cast and some of the best lines ever.  Supposedly mirrors some of the experiences of Blake Edwards who directed this. This movie also is famous for Mary Poppins' nude scene.  The caricature of Hollywood types still rings true and the unblemished friendship of Preston, Webber, and especially Holden for Mulligan is compared to the shallowness of the rest.  Having a great supporting actor stand in for Felix at his funeral is a great touch.
MVP:  Holden defines cool as the loyal friend Cully, just a superb actor
