Wow...all I can say is wow. This movie reminds me of the movies that came on right before the broadcasting "concluded for the day". The late,late,late show. I turned to this because I had never seen the title before and thought it was a documentary of The Oscar award. It took me a minute to recognize Tony Bennett. The lighting had him looking like he was in the sun too long. I watched it because at the time, there was nothing else on. I found myself alternating between laughing at the predictability and the urge to choke anyone in the scene. Tony Bennett in his long awaited tirade to free himself was like lighting a wet firecracker. I at least wanted to see Steven Boyd get beat up by Trina when he could not keep his end of their bargain, or have to ask Peter Lawford for a job. I did notice that Steven Boyd accidentally called him Peter, I thought that was the character's name until I saw the credits. Even with 10 stars, I cannot give it more that 4. I agree with a previous post. This is Mystery Science Theater material.
