5. Ever see 'The Wild Party'?

The James Coco character was supposedly Arbuckle, trying to stage a comeback with a premiere party for a self-produced film.

The party got ugly.

Good little movie, though. :thumbsup:

6. Whoa Rex!

The comic ends up killing his mistress and her latest boyfriend (from the synopsis)

Loosely based is right! I still want to see it, and will look for it. Thanks!

7. Raquel Welch kinda wrecks it

But, yeah, it's worth a look, especially if you're a fan of films of that era. :hi:

Hey, you aren't an Aussie footballer perchance, are you? :D

10. Raquel Welch "wrecks" it?

My primitive brain does not understand these concepts.

11. It's not a think, it's a know.

My brother is working on a screenplay (he's a location scout with directing aspirations) regarding this. He (fatty) was railroaded.
