After their 1960s musical BOY CRAZY is re-released to movie theatres and becomes a smash hit all over again, a young TV producer (Jonathan Silverman) is assigned against his will to sign up its three leading ladies (Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Collins) for a TV special. But there's a major obstacle to overcome ..... the three divas can't stand each other! However, their agent (Elizabeth Taylor) will take care of that. Co-written by Carrie Fisher and directed by Matthew Diamond (1995's VICTOR VICTORIA). The casting of MacLaine, Reynolds, Collins and Taylor promises to be a juicy slice of camp but if the result is a little less than hoped for, it can't help but still be fun. All four actresses are troupers and the screenplay incorporates elements of their own lives into the mix and the actresses are game. Example: Reynolds character is still hostile over Taylor stealing her husband, MacLaine's believes in reincarnation and when Silverman compliments Taylor on how good she looks, she snorts "I'm as big as a bungalow!". With Gene Barry, Peter Graves, Pat Harrington, Kevin Nealon, Hinton Battle and Carrie Fisher.
