Trivia
Katherine Heigl's character was Katharine Hepburn's stand-in. Permission was not granted to use Hepburn's name, so references to Rita Hayworth were dubbed in post-production.

Goofs
Rita Hayworth was not a star in 1937. It's unlikely she had a stand-in at that time.

first half goes pretty slowly

I like the concept of the hollywood stand-ins gathering in one spot. In this case, a bar, for a birthday party. I'm guessing its supposed to be formosa, on santa monica boulevard. Still open today ! It's 1937. The girls are catty, friendly, morose, proud, as they tell their stories. And trade insults. And drop names. And do drugs. While they are drinking things over, one of the stars they stand in for dies. So much talking in one location... it feels like it started as a play. One of katherine heigl's early roles. The guy who plays the bartender is an aussie, and the strange accent he's doing makes it hard to understand him sometimes. I really love the idea of the stand-ins getting together, but the first half is a big yawn... then things really pick up near the end. Directed by harvey keith. Written by ed kelleher. It's okay.
