Then they suggest that he kill a Chinese bookie to wipe off the debt. Vitelli and the film move back and forth between the double-crossing, murderous insincerity of the gamblers and the friendships, sweetness, and even love among Vitelli, the dancers, a dancer's mother, and the club's singer, Mr. Sophistication.

Quotes:

Howard Pike: If a person saying he was something was all there was to it, this country'd be full of rich men and good-looking women. Kings and queens... you know what I mean? Too bad it isn't that easy. In short, when someone else says you're a writer, that's when you're a writer... not before.

[after the movie crew pick up Lewis in the desert]::Lewis Tater: You mean you guys ain't cowboys?::Howard Pike: Well, sure we're cowboys. Whaddaya suppose we are? Weasels?::Howard Pike: [points to Wally] Look at that guy's face, right there. Show him your profile, Wally. Now don't that look like a western type to you? That right there is a cowboy's face.::Wally: Reeks character. That's what they told me... reeks.

Musical Director: Well, what do you think?::[after watching a proposed musical number with Polo]::Polo: If you enjoy entertaining the crew, not bad. Otherwise it belongs in a rehearsal hall. A rehearsal hall is where you REHEARSE. Not here - this is a soundstage.::Musical Director: Well, what should I do with it?::Polo: Well, the first thing I would do is get rid of that noodle in the pith helmet and then...::[gestures wearily]::Polo: - shoot it.

The Milton Berle Show (1966)

Actors: Milton Berle (actor), Marvin Worth (writer), Bobby Rydell (actor), Mitchell Ayres (actor),

Plot: Amidst a huge publicity blitz by ABC-TV (including an iron-clad, long term contract) and considerable speculation as to whether he could win over the Baby Boomers as he had their parents, entertainment legend Milton Berle attempted a prime-time TV comeback with this comedy-variety series taped at the Hollywood Palace theater. Unfortunately, high budgets and big-name guest stars couldn't lure viewers away from competing shows, primarily the hugely successful "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." The program was cancelled after one season, and Berle, despite numerous guest appearences on other shows over the ensuing three decades, never had a regular series again.
