* HollywoodOld: Bizarrely inverted, as the film insists on acting like the 84-year-old West is still in her prime. (In fact, West herself was confused as to why she looked so old in the dailies -- having them reshot with what seems like a quarter gallon of vaseline on the lens.)

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: George Raft -- whose 1932 drama ''Night After Night'' launched West's film career, and one of the few men in the cast old enough to have been her contemporary -- does a small scene AsHimself in the elevator with Marlo.[[note]]Ironically, though Raft had suggested West for the part, he wasn't her first choice, and had only recommended her after the studio vetoed Texas Guinan.[[/note]] Reg Lewis and several other bodybuilders from her 1950's Las Vegas residency also have cameos in the gym scene.

Marlo Manners (West), a globally recognized actress/sex symbol, has just wed her sixth husband, Sir Michael Barrington (Creator/TimothyDalton), and she would like nothing better than to enjoy her honeymoon with him in a posh London hotel. Unfortunately, she's being pulled in many different directions -- by her agent (Creator/DomDeLuise), the director of her latest film/one of her ex-husbands (Music/RingoStarr), a gangster/another one of her ex-husbands whom she thought was dead (Creator/GeorgeHamilton), and a Russian ambassador/ex-lover (Creator/TonyCurtis) at the hotel for an international peace conference. In truth, she has lived a double life as a secret agent for years, using her beauty and charm on men of power...and as an audiotape she's been dictating her CompromisingMemoirs to goes astray and the peace conference goes awry, she might just be the only person who can keep the world on an even keel.

Absolutely nobody objects to this, because it seems sex with Marlo is just ''that'' good.]]
