I was really sure that the actor playing Shirley MacLaine's son was in real life, Eddie Fisher's son with either Debbie Reynolds or Liz Taylor ! When I looked him up, I was surprised to find he aparently isn't. But how can the very strong resemblence not have been a strong factor in casting him ?
As for the movie -- as a old move buff, I found it fun to see the old broads still had their performing chops. The barbed dialog is amusing, though not for me, laugh out loud funny.
I see I have to use at least 600 characters, so I'll also note that I find it very hard to imagine Julie Andrews in Joan Collin's role, and am not surprised she turned the role down.
