A darkly hilarious, wildly erotic satire of Hollywood from âthe only author capable of handling mayhem on a gigantic scaleâ (Esquire).
 King B., the worldâs most admired filmmakerâwinner of a string of Oscars and awards from Cannes to Veniceâtakes on a new project: the most expensive, star-studded, high-quality, X-rated film ever made. He joins forces with producer Sid Krassman, whoâs made a fortune with B movies, and Angela Sterling, a misunderstood sex symbol who longs to do âseriousâ work. After convincing the principality of Liechtenstein to host the production in exchange for a distribution exclusive to boost tourism, King B. and Krassman arrive with cast and crew to make The Faces of Love. While keeping the nature of the film secret from American bankers, King B. lines up a host of European and American big-name stars. But word leaks out to the local religious groups and possibly even the Vatican. Between the Cardinalâs attempts to sabotage production and the big egos and even bigger libidos behind the scenes, the enterprise plummets into hilarious anarchy. Blue Movie is comic eroticism at its bestâpopulated by over-the-top characters, memorable dialogue, and perverse vignettes, and colored by razor-sharp insights into the film industry. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Terry Southern including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the authorâs estate.
