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. [More]
