SOAPDISH (1991) movie review
Soapdish (1991) d. Hoffman, Michael (USA)
One of the funniest comedies about show business, performed by a superb cast at the top of their game. Set backstage of the fictional soap opera The Sun Also Sets, Sally Field is hilarious as an aging diva, Cathy Moriarty spits nails as her bleached-blonde nemesis on and off screen, Robert Downey, Jr. sails through with stunning verve as the manipulative production manager, and Kevin Kline comes close to topping his Oscar-winning performance in A Fish Called Wanda as a washed-up soap actor doing productions of Death of a Salesman in Florida dinner theatre.
