Plot Summary for
S.O.B. (1981) More at IMDbPro »

A film-within-a-film: a fading movie producer has a plan for a successful movie: get a actress famous for her wholesome image to appear in the nude on the screen.... much like this film itself. Written by Murray Chapman {muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au}

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