> [@silenus](#): > > You really should watch **S.O.B.** A truly hilarious and subversive movie. Dated, but hilarious. You could tell Edwards was getting a lot of his frustrations out with that movie. “Can she perform?!” “Is Batman a transvestite?! Who knows?!” ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > When Edwards was making “Darling Lili” with Julie Andrews and Rock Hudson, Andrews was quoted as having said on the set, “Mr. Hudson needs to be informed that there is only one leading lady in this film.” Yes, but when Hudson was dying of AIDS, Andrews and Edwards visited him and apologized for that and similar remarks. ---
