There is a reason why this film deserves a 10, and much more credit and attention than it has had. Comedies never go into the depth of human character or intricate plot lines. Nor are they the place for creative art direction. But this film has all! Granted, most characters are caricatures. But the actors have added finesse to their work, for instance when the assistant director asks if the actress would mind if there is SEX in the film and the word comes out as a squeaky craving for her body. With another candidate, the film cuts over immediately to BANG, BANG, BANG, three sex positions and we end up with a cigarette and it's over. Hilarious sleazebags who are not in it to make a movie at all. Even more than 10 years later, I still look back at it and I think about the funny scenes and quotes. I'd like to see it again.
