An Oscar for THE OSCAR
Jun 16, 2008
frankiefain - yahoo.com
Three renound screenwriters,including SCI-FI legened Harlan Ellison, have pooled their talents to bless us with the greatest unintentional comedy since SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER. Every single line of dialogue delivered in this gem is funnier than the last.The more dramatic the scene,... Full review
I also love this movie. I first saw it about 12-15 years ago on a short-lived series on TNT called "Bad movies we love" or something like that. For many years I traditionally watched it right before the Oscar broadcast.... Full review

I believe that this movie was a career killer for Stephen Boyd. He made a brief resurgence in Fantastic Voyage, but the die was cast after this epic.If you look at his career after making this film, you will definitely... Full review

....you come up smelling like fleas". One of the lines actually spoken (by Tony Bennett)in "The Oscar". Words can not describe this film. It is so so bad...it is GREAT! Stephen Boyd's performance is way way way over the top... Full review

Above and beyond all the semi-enjoyable camp and melodrama of "The Oscar" is this...and it doesn't surface until the final scene, and final bit of dialogue: Frank Sinatra is shown to be the "good guy"...the role model for Frank Fane... Full review

Did Harlan Ellison really contribute to the screenplay of this film? Did he really script the scene at the end when Oscar nominations are read and we find that Richard Burton is a nominee for something called "Grapes In Winter"?... Full review
Grab your friends, this is a bad-great campy film!

This obscure, sublimely over-heated film is a second cousin to "Valley of the Dolls" in terms of pure, unadulterated Hollywood camp. The film is like a massive wad of cotton candy for those who enjoy a two hour trip to... Full review

Absolutely atrocious film from producer Joseph Levine, here ripping the lid off the Hollywood can but getting nothing out of it except hot air. Ruthless Stephen Boyd scratches his way up from seamy strip joints (as manager for the non-blushing... Full review

Charlton Heston, for example, was smack in the middle of his historical figure fetish, having appeared in the Oscar-winning Ben-Hur (1959) and in a string of period films that included The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965), The War Lord (1965), and Khartoum (1966), whereas director Anthony Mann had just been fired from Spartacus by producer/star Kirk Douglas, and was still feeling lousy after the failure of Cimarron (1960), a misstep to critics who felt Mann's prior small-scale, character-based westerns with Jam ...
