Enter The Phynx, a superstar band of heroes! How could they make a bizarre setup even stranger? By hiring every ancient actor whose agent called them back.
Yes, a cavalcade of "stars" like Martha Raye, Patty Andrews, Busby Berkeley, Joe Louis, Ed Sullivan, Butterfly McQueen, Edgar Bergen and so much more!
This has to be a randomly created list of people, right?
In the film, a group of washed up celebrities are kidnapped and only The Phynx can save them!
So nice of the kidnap victims to behave so politely for their captors!
It looked like the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, but it was actually a room full of celebrities who had seen better days, inexplicably rounded up and patiently waiting to be rescued.
The band saves the day, the old celebrities get a nice craft services meal and the young people flock to a 'today' picture. Well, two out of three at least. The film was a disaster at the box office, barely making enough to pay the ancient stars union scale.
So who was the most out of place celebrity in a film full of them? It was Colonel Sanders, who was trying yet another promotional appearance for his chicken franchises. He may have been great at cooking chicken, but he certainly wasn't good at choosing movie roles.
