S.O.B. (1981)
Director: Blake Edwards
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Though, like many of Edwards' films, it lurches uncertainly from slapstick farce to mordant humour in an extremely hit-or-miss fashion, this surprisingly bitter satire on Tinseltown - in which a producer (Mulligan) beefs up his latest turkey of a movie by introducing some pornographic sex scenes and having his wife/star (Andrews) bare her breasts on screen - does hit the mark once or twice. That said, it seems more like an expectorant for Edwards' bile than an entertainment aimed at an audience.Author: NF
