Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles Carrie Fisher's screenplay for THESE OLD BROADS casts Shirley MacLaine, Joan Collins, and Debbie Reynolds in this made-for-television special as three aging starlets attempting to revitalize their careers by starring in a made-for-television special. A heavily ironic film with a broad, wacky, slapstick vision of Hollywood, gets rolling when Shirley's son, aspiring producer Wesley, convinces the three great dames to halt their lifelong backstabbing feuds in order to appear together in his singing, dancing extravaganza. Elizabeth Taylor is the pot-smoking, bitchy, power agent of all three ladies, demanding absurd sums for her cooperation in the project. Wesley's hands already appear full--until the director turns out to be a giggling alcoholic, and Joan Collins' character harbors a felon on the run who dies in her amourous arms. The real challenge is for the girls to stay out of prison long enough to learn their dance steps and make the show into a hit. Few TV specials offers as much star power or as many laughs as THESE OLD BROADS. Television release: February 12, 2001 (ABC).
The film was shot in just 22 days.
Elizabeth Taylor had to be brought to the set in a wheelchair. She told TV Guide, "I can't walk a long distance, so everyboy sees me in a wheelchair and thinks I'm sick. If you had broken your back three times, you couldn't stand very long [either]. I don't think I look sick."
Shirley MacLaine told Newsday that working with Collins, Taylor, and Reynolds "was bawdy, funny and very informative. It was four women catching up on their lives, since we've all known each other for forty years....We all talked about wrinkles, arthritis, men, money, children, careers, just everything. I've never had so much fun on a movie."
Joan Collins was once engaged to Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine's brother. These Old Broads Reviews: "...This gang of grandmas proves they're the bawdiest biddies in Hollywood..."

In this collaboration with Stephen King, director George Romero assembles a distinguished cast and pays vividly hued homage to the E.C. horror comics of the 1950s. (This film appeared years before the TALES FROM THE CRYPT series.) Five creepy tales are strung together by a framing story involving a young boy being punished by his father for reading the gruesome, titular comic book. "Father's Day" tells the tale of a family patriarch exacting beyond-the-grave revenge on the daughter who murdered him. In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," a Maine hayseed (King himself in a ridiculously over-the-top performance) is overtaken by a meteor-based plant growth. A cuckolded husband exacts watery revenge on his cheating wife and her lover in "Something to Tide You Over." A hairy beast in a box is used for nefarious purposes at a university in "The Crate." Finally, in "They're Creeping Up on You," a wealthy, arrogant New Yorker with a fear of germs has a disturbing run-in with cockroaches during a blackout.
While the stories are a bit brief, the style is appropriate for the anthology ...
