Welcome back to another review here at B-Movie Enema!

January 2025 has been dedicated to Pia Zadora. Right here in the middle of the month dedicated to the lil’ starlet is not a feature film shown on the big screen. We’re going to look at the 1983 TV movie Pajama Tops. This “movie” was directed by Robert Iscove. Iscove has a whole lot of credits on his filmography. This includes a LOT of TV stuff. He directed episodes of Wiseguy, Star Trek: The Next Generation, 21 Jump Street, The Flash, American Playhouse, Great Performances, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

However, Iscove then made two kind of famous movies. One is famous for being one of those 90s movies that gained a huge fanbase and the other is kind of infamous. The one with the fanbase is 1999’s She’s All That. Yeah, everyone loves She’s All That, right? Rachel Leigh Cook, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Paul Walker! Yeah! We love those guys. However, the other film that isn’t so well-liked is 2003’s From Justin to Kelly. That’s the movie that starred the winner and runner-up of the very first season of American Idol – Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini.

Can you believe American Idol is still going?!?

Anyway, Pajama Tops is actually something that became kind of popular in the early 80s. Between PBS and cable channels and the rise of home video, stage performances began getting filmed versions. I have vague memories of HBO airing several of these. Whether it was a musical or a comedy, if the show was popular on Broadway, it was likely a televised or video cassette performance would be recorded for those who are fans of live performances to consume. I definitely remember when Cats was released on video in the mid-80s and it was a big deal. I remember Sweeney Todd getting airplay on TV because I have a brother who loved that show. So Pajama Tops falls into that category and it premiered on March 8, 1983 on Showtime.

Pajama Tops is an adaptation of a French play called Moumou. While this performance was filmed in Toronto and starred mostly American actors, the play takes place in France. All of that will make a lot of sense when you realize that this is a sex farce. So… French play adapted into an American play that would eventually get filmed and aired on Showtime? Yeah, of course it’s a sex farce.

It’s so much a sex farce that Pia Zadora is actually replacing a Playboy model in the role of Babette LaTouche. That model was June Wilkinson and she was replaced after the early 80s actors’ strike caused a delay in getting this filmed. When the strike was over, Pia Zadora was hired to replace her because the writers claimed Wilkinson was “too old at 50” to play the part. Wilkinson was in that role and the star for many years and was, in reality, only 37 at this time. Upon hearing this, she refused to play Babette ever again to ensure she was not directly making money for those writers who lied to get her replaced on a televised version of the play.

I ain’t gonna lie, Enemaniacs. This is a tricky pick to come third during this theme month. Why’s that? Well, Butterfly didn’t quite connect while having good performances and great scenery. Fake-Out was a pile of buffalo farts that couldn’t figure out how to do anything worth a fuck. This third pick is a long-forgotten cable TV filmed performance of a stage play I hadn’t heard of before looking at what I was going to choose for this month’s slate of movies. This is kind of like being in the baseball playoffs and you’re in the Divisional Series. You’re already down 0-2 and on the brink of being knocked out and you decide to have your team do a bullpen game when the series and the season is riding on whether or not you can pull out a victory.

Pajama Tops is starting a relief pitcher at a crucial stage of a series.

Did that make sense? Am I talking straight? Do you guys even like baseball? I love baseball. I know what I mean by calling this a bullpen game. Is my brain melted cheese after watching two Pia Zadora movies already for this month? Eh… Fuck it. Anyway, this movie has a not-too-shabby 7.0 rating on IMDb, so let’s get into it, shall we?

Damn… I hadn’t seen that Showtime Movie Presentation bumper in, like, 40 years? That’s really taking me back. Something else I failed to mention in my preamble for this movie is that this is a Lorimar production. Lorimar Television Productions was responsible for putting some fairly recognizable and likable shows on the TV airwaves. This included shows like Eight Is Enough, Falcon Crest, Dallas, ThunderCats, and, of course, ALF. When it came to films, the company also produced movies like Carny, Being There, Cruising, The Last Starfighter, and The Dead Zone. Despite being a relatively constant on TV screens when I was growing up in the 80s, Lorimar went defunct in 1993.

Anyway, We now can go into Pajama Tops and Act I which takes place in Villa Claire de Lune in Deauville, France. We’re told it’s an afternoon in August. Mind you, this is legitimately a filmed live performance with a live audience and everything. The movie opens with an inspector calling on the house of Monsieur and Madame Chauvinet. The inspector wishes to speak to Madame Chauvinet but he’s told by the sexy maid of the Chauvinet’s, Claudine, that the Madame is currently changing into a bathing suit. Claudine still invites the inspector in and they engage in several lines laced with double entendre.

Claudine studies at the university and wants to be a grand courtesan. So… Yeah, she is interested in using her beauty and body (and, at times, her brain) to live a great life. She wants to do something to make a splash, like a scandal to get publicity, to start paving the road for her career. The inspector is also looking for a spark. You see, he’s kind of old and broken down. He too would love a scandal to allow for him to make a big ol’ splash to set himself up as a great inspector. Claudine and the inspector feel like they can certainly assist one another.

The inspector knows of a man who is coming from out of town. He’s received a report that states a notorious swindler has come into town. He thinks he can use this to achieve his goals. Claudine likes the idea of helping him to get her big splash.

Madame Yvonne Chauvinet speaks to the inspector about whatever it is that he wanted to discuss with her, but he then says that he really wanted to speak to the Monsieur. He leaves after learning he is not currently available but states he will return. Yvonne is not a big fan of Claudine. She knows the maid is rather frisky and flirts and “entertains” guests all the time. Yvonne even says Claudine practices on her husband and is consistently dressing sexier and sexier and is flirting more and more.

So, George, Monsieur Cauvinet, is on his way to do some business with a guy named Latouche. Latouche owns several stores in Normandy and other parts of France that George can sell his products to and increase profits. He’s quick to try to leave, but Yvonne wants him to stick around and do a little romancin’ if you catch my drift. He’s really interested in leaving so he can make that bank. He does mildly scold Yvonne for having such a sexy swimsuit on because he thinks she will feed hungry eyes while she is away for her swim at the beach, but then again he’s not interested in sating his hunger as he admires his beautiful wife. Hell, he even rejects Claudine’s advances. It’s almost like he’s coded a little gay or, at the very least fay.

That coding is not exactly helped by the arrival of his friend Leonard Joliejolie. Lenny first sent a letter that George did not want Claudine to read. When he reads aloud who the letter came from, in barges Lenny from the garden. He’s almost excessively gay-coded and is what would have been labeled as “a little fruity” back then. He’s been traveling the world and even spent time in Fiji where he said he was “chasing poetry” while there. Now, George covers for us in the audience by saying Lenny must have gotten disillusioned while playing with a native island girl (ohyeahright) and that must be what brought him back to France. George asks if he ended up marrying the girl, but Lenny says his “friend” married her and he’s “still single”. Lenny then goes on and on about being “difficult to understand” and that girls bother him. No shit. Girls bother Lenny who is practically traipsing around the stage and admits to hating women and marriage. He even places his hand on George’s chest and says that their “friendship” is what he needs right now.

This is the gayest scene of anything I’ve seen over the past 365 days and I’ve seen some pretty gay stuff in movies.

If it’s not revealed by the end of this play that these two are planning to run away together or have had a whole lotta sex in their lives and *ahem* friendship, then I will call this out for being the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I’m not kidding around here. Robert Klein (a marvelous actor and comedian of this era) is playing this character extremely effeminate. If I thought George was leaning in a little bit to the American idea of a pansy Frenchman, I wouldn’t be surprised that the pink shirt under the colorful smoking jacket Lenny’s wearing is supposed to send out a gigantic signal that this guy is incredibly gay. Like, that signal would be so pronounced it should light Lenny on fire because he is being coded as a flaming homosexual.

And as the scene continues, several lines and jokes point directly to Lenny being a gay man pretending to be a libertine artist playboy. He wants to break out big as a writer. He fancies (heh) himself a second-coming (heh) of Shakespeare (heh… wait, there’s no joke to make there). He ended up writing a poem about something and shared it with a young fellow he met at a bar the night before. After reading his poem, he said the young man wanted more from him… EVERYTHING. After spending some more “time” with this young dude, he woke up discovering that all his belongings, including his wallet and his poems, were stolen by this man. He needs George’s help.

George asks a sensible question: did Lenny go to the police to report the theft? No. Why? Because this will certainly lead to scandal and when that scandal leaks out to the public, Lenny’s career will be over before it starts. That’s because, in no way, shape, or form is Lenny a gay man who spent the night with a pretty little nugget of a thief only to be totally robbed of everything after a night of sex.

Lenny asks for a couple hundred Francs and he needs a place to crash for a few days. George says he can give him the money, but he can’t give him a place to stay. George is on his way out for “business” with Latouche. Latouche is actually Babette Latouche, George’s mistress. What’s more, not only does Yvonne not know he’s cheating on her, but Babette does not know George is married. So, in a way, he’s cheating on both women.

When Yvonne returns from her swim, she has a little surprise for George. She asks if he’s going to be traveling to see the Latouches for business multiple times, why not have them come to their home? George clumsily says they hate traveling and prefer to stay in their glorious estate. Well, Yvonne found the Latouches’ contact info in George’s little black book and arranged it for them to come to their chateau instead. George is shocked to learn that Yvonne signed George’s name to the telegram she sent. At least he thinks the Latouches will decline, but Yvonne has yet another surprise… They did accept and seemingly excited to come out to their home.

So here’s the farce of this sex farce that is in the classic French style. A man who is fooling around on his wife with a mistress who doesn’t know he has a wife is caught in between the two of them because he planned to spend the weekend with the mistress only to discover the wife has unwittingly invited the mistress to their home. This is a not particularly original set up, but it is pretty good. Like I said, it’s a classic farce. We get reactions from the actors, George has lots of funny lines first to Yvonne about how over the moon excited he is that she came up with such a great idea. When the inspector returns stating he’s retiring soon but is hoping to have one last crime of passion to go out on in a blaze of glory, George tells him to stick around a little longer because he expects either his wife or his mistress to kill him when they discover the existence of the other (without coming directly out and saying that to the inspector). It’s great!

This is a fun little romp up to this point. Sure, it’s over the top and the actors are hamming it up pretty good. Yet, that’s expected, right? Not only is this a literal stage production so they have to play to a live audience, this is how these types of farcical comedies are performed and it’s a lot of fun. We have some zany characters that we’ve met from the sexy maid who just wants to create a scandal wherever she goes to the burned-out inspector on his way into retirement but still gets excited by the sexiness of both Yvonne and Claudine to the extremely gay friend who is not gay at all coming in and ratcheting up the kooky behavior from the cast.

Look at you, bullpen game… Winnin’ Game 3 on the brink of elimination and shit…

Babette arrives to shock George. She wants to hug George, but he gestures to the inspector to hide their true relationship. After introducing her to the inspector, he notices the name on his report matches the Latouche name. When he leaves, Babette ravishes George who desperately wants to take her to a hotel or go for a drive in his car to get her out of the house. She reveals to George that finding out where he lives eases a whole lot of concerning questions she has about him. After all, he was always so quick to leave after any time he visited her. He always claimed it was business that kept him always on the go, but she worried that he was married. Now that she is at his home and was seemingly invited by him, she now knows he really is the man she hoped he would be.

Buuut George knows that at any moment, Yvonne will come downstairs. He needs to think quick so he tells Babette that he lives with a “relative”. Babette wonders if he lives with his mother. No, he doesn’t live with his mother. Could it be a sister? Well, yes and no? I guess? George says she’s like a little sister but he doesn’t want to make her jealous or uncomfortable with their carrying on. After all, she doesn’t mean anything to him… now.

Again, this is perfectly fine farcical stuff going on. Babette wants to have her relationship with George progress. George is preventing revealing her to his wife. Maybe someday he will leave Yvonne for Babette, but I’m not sure that is even his intention either. I think he’s trying to have his cake and also Pia Zadora. That’s the right saying, yes? “You want to have your cake and Pia Zadora too!” Yeah, that seems right. Anyway, I think George wants to continue both his marriage and his affair with neither ever getting him full-time. Again… pretty standard sex farce stuff.

The problem is George is a complete buffoon. He accidentally reveals he’s “a little bit” married. He claims that their marriage is over and she’s now like a little sister to him. There’s no real indication at this point that this is true. He even has to admit that it was his wife who invited her to the house but did not suspect that she was inviting his mistress because he would always talk about his “friends” the Latouches. This only angers Babette more because she is more than just a friend… at least so she thought.

George was afraid of losing her if he told her about being married. But Babette says she has lost her and she hates him. She’s refusing to go back home too, but refuses to leave too. Thankfully, the return of Lenny helps hatch a new plan… If Yvonne is going to be downstairs at any moment, and she’ll expect to be introduced to the Latouches… Lenny will have to pretend to be Mr. Latouche and his wife is Babette. This resolves the issue with Babette being unable and unwilling to return home and Lenny will also be able to stay with George. To convince Lenny to play along, George threatens to call the police about the theft from the gay tryst Lenny got himself into the night before to kick off a disastrous scandal for him.

Those are looks of “Yeah, right, I can’t pretend to like women” and “Yeah, right, he can’t pretend to like women…”

This kicks off a pretty hilarious scene of Lenny trying to act as “Jac Latouche” and talking about the hometown they are supposedly from and forgetting what he learned in the crash course from George and Babette. As he stumbles trying to explain about the town that Yvonne is intimately fond of, George and Babette have to do a bunch of crazed charades to try to help him remember what he’s supposed to discuss.

Act I then ends with Babette coming up with a plan of her own. She says the telegram Yvonne mistakenly sent to her indicated an extended stay. She’s staying as long as she wants and, in doing so, she plans to torture George with her constant presence. What’s more, she’s going to make a completely uninterested Lenny her “instrument” of her revenge and torture. She plans to consistently cuddle up and insinuates that she is going to be fucking Lenny constantly to drive George mad.

Act II then picks up later that evening. Babette is reading a book when a man wearing a fake beard, a trenchcoat, and a hat sneaks into the house. This is the real Jac Latouche. It turns out Babette was not as single as George had assumed or believed. He is a fugitive and has returned to find Babette. He first stopped at their house to find the telegram inviting her to the Chauvinets’ home. Jac is the subject of the report the inspector received and why he recognized the name when Latouche was mentioned earlier.

Jac ran away with a woman. Jac’s shenanigans made one thing lead to another and he was faced with arrest. Babette was embarrassed by his sudden disappearance and his name being floated by police. As they go over the details of their marital issues, Yvonne comes into the room and is surprised to see this bearded man. When he reveals that he had a telegram, Yvonne mistakes him for a butler being sent by an agency she’s been working with to get a long-needed butler sent to work for the Chauvinets.

Since he needs a place to hide out from the fuzz, and she needs a butler desperately, she puts him to work immediately. Cue another funny round of identity shenanigans when the real Jac Latouche is introduced to Lenny playing a fake version of Jac Latouche as well as the real Jac’s near-insane level of jealousy. At this point, just about everyone is either being deceived by George’s relationship with Babette, or playing a part in covering up the affair, or are spouses of two cheaters. It’s a legitimately well-written comedy. As this progresses, the tangled web gets more tangled to the point that it’s all becoming far too complicated to keep up much longer. I love that this is a simple lie with George wanting to have an extra-marital affair and with every passing minute, that is compounding to the point that it’s ready to come crashing down at any moment.

And Yvonne Chauviner is no dum-dum. She reminds George that he described Babette as a relatively mousy and unattractive woman. Yvonne finds Babette to be gorgeous and fashionable. She asks George how he became friends with someone so eccentric (heh… that’s one word for it) like “Jac Latouche”. He says they had similar interests. She asks if that similar interest was Babette Latouche but that can’t be it because, honey, “Jac” is not interested in Babette in the slightest.

After George and Lenny (whose lines indicating that he is mega gay becoming clearer and clearer as the play continues) go upstairs to help get Lenny settled in before dinner, the real Jac and Claudine have their opportunity for mixed-up identity shenanigans. Claudine knows that Jac Latouche is the man the inspector is looking for not realizing the real Jac Latouche is standing right in front of her after he delivered Babette’s luggage to her room. Claudine calls the inspector to tell him that she has Jac Latouche in the house.

What’s more, Claudine asks the real Jac what his name is. She guesses it’s Leonard Joliejolie to which Jac accepts as a cover to prevent his real identity from causing more of a stir. She says she could guess that because something was left in the mailbox for him – his wallet (sans money), a collection of poems, and a note from the guy the real Lenny had his gay fling with the night before. Even more, Claudine has read the poems that she now thinks were written by the butler. Being she wants to be a grand courtesan and a muse, she wants to make sure she helps him become famous. Being that the real Jac Latouche is a fugitive as it is, he refuses it, but she keeps wanting to be his muse and even tries to seduce him to let her accomplish her goal of kickstarting her career as a professional muse (of sorts).

Yet another scheme is concocted, but this time by a very unsuspecting schemer… Yvonne. She requests George give her and Babette a chance to get to know each other better and shoos him away to continue to plan for their upcoming dinner. Yvonne then cuts right to the chase with Babette by saying she believes her husband “Jac” (the fake one currently played by Lenny) does not pay her the proper amount of romantic affection and attention. At first, she inadvertently makes Babette jealous by saying that George is good at satisfying her, when he does take the time and effort to do so. But then she says that she doesn’t quite get exactly the attention she craves. Yvonne’s plan is simple. Like when a car needs some oil put into the engine to keep it well-lubed and running properly, Yvonne wants to flirt with “Jac” to get him nice and revved up for Babette and she wants Babette to do the same with George.

Babette likes this idea. A lot. So Yvonne gets right to the business of seducing “Jac”. Later, George approaches his butler “Leonard” to assist him with his plan. He wants to spend the night with Babette Latouche not realizing that he’s scheming with Babette’s real husband. He wants “Leonard” to take his place in bed while George sleeps with Babette. He even gives “Leonard” 500 Francs to do this. But “Leonard” reveals the plan to Yvonne as a gesture of his “loyalty” to the lady of the house. Plus, it prevents a rival from sleeping with his wife. When Yvonne tells “Jac” that his wife is soon to become her husband’s mistress. “Jac” does not care. But Yvonne says she will sleep with “Jac” tonight as retribution for him sleeping with Babette.

The web is getting even more tangled. This movie is wildly complicated but it’s the kind of convoluted scheming and plans that make for a good comedy of errors. Every single character is wrapped up in a misunderstanding or purposely misleading others with an assumed identity or relationship. It is further complicated by the inspector now arriving at the house to get his big moment and big arrest to finish his career. He knows someone at the house is Jac Latouche. A combination of Lenny continuing to play his role for his friend George and the real Jac seeking to recoup his wife as well as sending another man up the river in his place leads to Lenny providing the inspector with an identity card saying he is Jac Latouche. When the inspector then says he is under arrest, Lenny tries to save himself by revealing he is not Jac Latouche. In fact, he can prove it with his suitcase that has his real initials on it “LJ” (for Leonard Joliejolie). The joke’s on him, though, because the inspector believes this only proves his case further by saying it stands for “Latouche, Jac”.

The fourth wall breaking look to the audience by Robert Klein is hilarious.

Lenny shouts that he is not Jac Latouche but Leonard Joliejolie. However, the real Jac Latouche has Lenny’s actual identity card which only works against him further. The inspector says that he’s through with all this and will take him to the jail tonight. Both Babette and Yvonne beg the inspector to wait until tomorrow. The inspector agrees. The two women tell Lenny that they will make sure tonight will be the best night of his life that he will never forget implying they are going to fuck his brains out.

The second act ends with Lenny screaming for the inspector to save him by arresting him now.

Act III picks up the next morning. The inspector arrives to arrest Jac Latouche and George Chauvinet. George is getting arrested as an accomplice. The way the inspector sees it, George was friends with Latouche for years and has been staying at his house. He doesn’t believe George’s assertion that he either had no idea who Jac Latouche is or he had no knowledge of Latouche’s criminal activities. The inspector calls the newspaper to give a bunch of extremely damaging information about orgies and infidelities. The real Jac and George both lament the bad publicity. The inspector leaves with a warning that he will return with a paddy wagon for the upcoming arrests.

Lenny wakes up well-rested and full of vigor. He’s practically a new man. Why’s that? He reveals to George that he now is full of love of women. He got the gay fucked out of him by one of the women last night. He doesn’t know which one because it was pitch black in the bedroom when the woman came to him. But he says that if it was Babette, he plans to take her away with him. If it was Yvonne, George must leave and Lenny will take his place as her husband and man of the house. In either situation, George is emasculated and will lose either way.

Lenny has only one clue about the identity of the woman… She wore only a pajama top.

When Yvonne comes downstairs, she confronts George about him never coming to bed. She knows the butler was in his place and that he was attempting to sleep with Babette. So, to get her proper revenge on George for breaking his heart, she went to “Jac”. George says that it couldn’t be her because she doesn’t wear pajamas. She says he’s only half right. She only wears the tops…

The morning paper has a lot of the scandal already published. But, as Yvonne threatens, if any more of the scandal is released, she will pack her bags, take her money (all of George’s business was paid for by her money), and get a divorce. Claudine tells George that the noon edition of the paper will include all the extra information the inspector called in this morning, including his name as an accomplice.

Babette then comes downstairs. George asks her why she didn’t let him into her room last night. She says that she learned from Yvonne that George is still her lover. So it was to get back at him for lying about things being over in his marriage. She then reveals that she too is wearing only a pajama top under her robe marking her as Lenny’s possible lover the night before.

When George goes to talk to Yvonne after she ordered the butler to get her bags because she plans to leave. Jac tells Babette that he used the advance money he got from Claudine to gamble at the casino. He won enough money to pay off his bounced checks that got him in trouble with the cops to begin with. He just has to keep his true identity quiet for a short bit longer while the bank irons out all the payments to his creditors.

Later, both Babette and Yvonne admit to being Lenny’s secret lover the night before. Lenny tries to figure out if he was awoken by one woman, fell asleep, and woke up again by the second woman. Yvonne plans to go home to her mother’s. Babette also wants to run away with Lenny. The three of them plan to leave together but run into the inspector. Then, Claudine enters to say that the poet she inspired as a courtesan is now famous. His poems are now famous and being printed in the paper for all to enjoy. Between that and the bank manager calling to say all of Jac Latouche’s complaints from creditors have been withdrawn, they can now switch their identities back.

In the aftermath of everything seemingly working out, Yvonne is angry that George tried to make a fool of her and plans to leave him. Babette also plans to leave Jac. Both of them want to have Lenny. That’s when Claudine says that Lenny belongs to her. After all, she spent the night with him. And what does she wear to bed every night?

So, yeah… Lenny got the gay fucked out of him in triplicate.

Welllll… not quite. When he was getting laid, Lenny recited one of his poems. He began what it was he was saying while his world was getting rocked. He says that whoever was with him would know the completion of his verse. It is Claudine who reveals the missing piece of the poem proving that she was the only one who slept with Lenny.

The deception from Yvonne and Babette was only to teach their cheating and scheming husbands an important lesson about fidelity. By driving them jealous, they were giving them a taste of what the women were feeling. George and Yvonne rekindle their love as do Babette and Jac. Meanwhile, Lenny is now a famous poet and Claudine will fulfill her destiny as his sexual muse.

The only guy who gets nothing in this movie is the poor inspector. While he was completely correct in wanting to capture a criminal and was doing so within his power, he had the wrong man. When everything was working itself out, it proved the story he provided to the paper for the noon edition was a total falsehood now so he must ask the paper to not print the story of his final case.

I found Pajama Tops to be very good. It’s funny. It’s engaging. It’s just a nice production. It may not be everyone’s speed. It is both an older style of comedy and a very French thing on top of that. However, I think what charmed me so much was that very simple fact that this does feel like something from a bygone era and far-off place. If this ever got another revival or a touring show and I had a chance to see it on stage, I’d be happy to see it live.

The cast was pretty good too. Susan George plays the high-class wife, Yvonne, very well and she is extremely attractive too. Pia Zadora, our lady of the month, was also quite good as Babette and you can tell she had a blast playing the part and brought a great deal of energy. I like that she’s kind of played more young and youthful in attitude to offset Yvonne’s more glamourous look and styling. Alan Scarfe is good as the scheming George. He had a pretty decent career in film and TV having appeared a couple of times on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager as well as having a role in Lethal Weapon 3. Sadly, Scarfe passed way just last year in April at the age of 77. Speaking of Star Trek, Gwynyth Walsh, who played the sexy Claudine, was one of the Klingon Duras sisters, B’Etor, in several episodes in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine before they met their end in a fiery ball of exploding Bird of Prey in Generations.

The whole production, though, is stolen by Robert Klein. Klein has always been a part of my life. I know he was in a ton of movies and TV shows. In fact, he’s still working as of the writing of this article. He can do comedy. He can do drama. When I was little and around the time of this production, he was doing comedy specials. He isn’t someone who holds a deep connection to my life, but he’s someone I consistently recognize immediately when she shows up and kind of acts as something of a warm blanket for me because I remember seeing him a lot when I was little.

Alright, so we got one in the win column for Pia Zadora Month. We might have started shaky in 2025, but I have confidence in what is to come. I think of the two remaining movies I’ve chosen for Pia Zadora Month, one is silly enough to carry a lot of charm with it. The other? Well, you will have to come back next week to find out for sure because it is yet another kind of infamous movie that Pia was connected to through her husband Meshulam RIklis. It’s time to talk about The Lonely Lady.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to concoct a terribly convoluted and complicated scheme to cheat on my wife.

Wait… I’m not married.

I’m not even dating anyone.

Oh for fu…
