This movie probably looked very intriguing in script form, but didn't quite pan out in actuality. Although I am not sure PF gives a rats patootie about commercial sucess. Bunny is a simply a great role. I think those high artistic ideals he says he had in his early days that allowed him to pass up film star fame is still alive and kicking.

The cast list is quite amazing so the script must have really captured them. I can't believe there was much money to go round for high salaries to entice them.

*goes away to look up patootie in the dictionary*
