This is a terrible movie. Bad with a capital b. But it's notable for featuring two legendary stars who rarely appeared on the big screen - TV pioneer and comedian Milton Berle and legendary jazz singer Tony Bennett. The lead actor is Steven Boyd (of "Ben-Hur"), who plays a Hollywood actor named Frank who'd like to be nominated for an Oscar his recent screen role.Berle plays Boyd's agent; his performance is just OK; according to some Oscar history books I've read, Berle was campaigning for an Oscar himself for Best Supporting Actor that year - but he wasn't nominated.
Bennett plays one of Boyd's friends. He's not that good in the role. I think this was one of his first --- and last --- movie roles.
After about 2 hours of dull melodrama and subplots, we finally get to the last scene, the Oscar ceremony. Bob Hope has a cameo as the emcee, and there's some tension when the presenter reads the names for Best Actor.
I'm going to spoil the ending right here so don't read if you really don't want to know.
But this is the best part of the whole movie, my favorite part:
"And the winner is...Frank......(Boyd thinks he's going to win and starts to get up).... Sinatra!"
