Academy Award night is a make-or-break event for Hollywood actor Frankie Fane. With a reputation for being difficult on the set and bad box-office, Fane's years of high-living in tinseltown are coming to an end. Then somehow, Frankie is nominated along with the likes of Richard Burton and Burt Lancaster for the Best Actor Oscar after playing a character with no morals, no ethics, and no decency. People who know Frankie personally know he wasn't acting. He was playing himself. Will he win? The envelope, please...
THE OSCAR stars Stephen Boyd, Elke Sommer, Milton Berle, Joseph Cotten, Ernest Borgnine and Tony Bennett (in his first and last feature film role!) and is loaded with cameos including Frank and Nancy Sinatra, Bob Hope, Peter Lawford and Edith Head. Dont miss this opportunity to see one of the unsung classics of Hollywood camp!
"This picture is a wonder; it's of a lurid badness that has to be experienced. A classic of unintentional comedy."
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
"Bad Movie nirvana beckons in THE OSCAR, a foot-stompingly funny movie about a louse who stomps all over other louses to reach the top of the Hollywood dung heap. This is essential, hallucinatory viewing before you ever watch another Academy Awards ceremony." Stephen Rebello, Movieline
"THE OSCAR is one of those so-bad-it's-good movies beloved by camp aficionados. Intended as a sordid little melodrama, THE OSCAR is an unintentionally hilarious comedy." Craig Butler, All Movie Guide
"Every year around the Academy Awards, this trashy little flick should be seen!" John Weber, Bad Movie Night
