With the advent of newer technology an extremely successful silent-film actor by the name of "Jolly Grimm" (James Coco) has fallen upon hard times and has become quite depressed as a result. So together with his live-in girlfriend "Queenie" (Racquel Welch) they invite everyone with any clout in Hollywood to their mansion to view his latest work which he hopes will revitalize his career. What Jolly doesn't understand is that the times have passed him by and having lost a great deal of prestige and influence it will take much more flexibility and understanding on his part to handle the situation. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought Racquel Welch put on an excellent performance and demonstrated her abilities quite nicely. Likewise, I also thought James Coco performed rather well despite being somewhat miscast in his particular role as it just didn't fit his screen persona. Aside from that, the film itself suffered from poor directing and a very convoluted plot with the orgy scene at the end being particularly disgusting. That being said, had it not been for both of the aforementioned actors I would have rated this film even lower as it was a depressing and disappointing film.
