movie base on jacqueline susann best selling novel . it about robin stone ( john phillip law ) a ruthless tv anchorman who claw his way to the top . it detail his love life concentrate on amanda ( jodi wexler ) and judith ( dyan cannon ) . it also show his total inability to commit to anyone and instead sleep with any woman he can get . the novel be no work of art ( it not even good literature ) but it a quick and silly and trashy read . but this movie make it seem like go with the wind . this be a textbook example of how not to do a movie adaptation . first they condense the novel terribly . in the book stone inability to commit be deal with and it reveal why . here it bring up . and ignore . also there a truly revolt scene in which a woman be brutally beat . it in the book but there be a reason totally leave out of the movie . and the book dealt with three woman not two . don not even get me start on the homophobia . adaptation aside the acting be pretty terrible . law be just horrendous a stone very wooden and bore you seriously wonder why all these woman be after him . to be fair to law another actor be cast but have a very bad accident before shoot begin and law step in at the last minute . wexler be terrible a amanda while maureen arthur be truly astoundingly bad a ethel evans while shecky greene be unbearable a christie lane . only three performance stand out represent david hemmings ( have a great time ) camp it up a a gay photographer while cannon be actually very good and robert ryan be just great . also dionne warwick sings the catchy opening song ( he move on ) . it be bad but i watch the whole thing and it be ( in a silly sort of way ) a lot of fun . i be give it a 3. also jacqueline susann have a cameo a a newscaster .
