S.O.B. (1981) Synopsis

A scathing send-up of Hollywood, S.O.B. (the letters stand for "Standard Operational Bullshit") tells the story of Felix Farmer (Richard Mulligan), a big-time producer who suffers a nervous breakdown after his big-budget, wholesome family movie starring his actress-singer wife, Sally Miles (Dame Julie Andrews), bombs at the box-office. The desperate Farmer hits upon a desperate scheme: He'll buy the movie from the studio, re-shoot several scenes to include R-rated material, then re-release the movie. But things don't go entirely according to plan.—Eugene Kim
