The Love Machine (1971)

How bad is it? It's one of the worst films based on a Jacqueline Susann novel.
Should you see it? Yes, as it has some great cameos and overacting.

That fashion never really caught on.
Dionne Warwick sings. Jackie Cooper plays a movie mogul. Shecky Greene has a cameo, as does Claudia Jennings! Robert Ryan's wife, Dyan Cannon, has an affair and then he dies of a heart attack. Jodi Wexler commits suicide. An amazon hooker (that's what she's called in the credits!) gets beaten and a gay photographer trades an alibi for sex. There's a shower scene. Cannon sets a bed on fire and then fights three men at a buffet. A good time is had by all.
