S.O.B.
Felix Farmer, a motion picture director whose career is on the skids, tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide. One day he realizes that the reason for his film's failure was its lack of sex. He then tries to salvage his career by revamping his film as an erotic production, where its family-friendly star takes her top off.

What I regard as Edwards' crowning achievement. It is a wickedly funny, impeccably cast, ingeniously subversive satire of the Hollywood film industry.February 02, 2016
S.O.B. is a poison pen letter to the industry, a film of undisguised hatred. Edwards' sense of the funny has sunk to sour insults.September 23, 2003
If only it were half as clever as it thinks it is.September 25, 2009
Blake Edwards cleans houseJune 24, 2006
It seems more like an expectorant for Edwards' bile than an entertainment aimed at an audience.August 30, 2004
It's a nasty, biased, self-serving movie that also happens to be hilarious most of the time.December 11, 2005
Caustic, satirical, and one of Blake Edwards' best.July 22, 2008
Black comedy is a tough commodity to sustain and, after a broad start, Edwards quickly finds a deft balance that paints a cockeyed, self-contained world that comfortably supports its exaggerated characters.
