Rented Lips
A documentary filmmaker, who has spent the last 15 years making films like "Aluminum: Our Shiny Friend," is finally given the chance to make the documentary on Indian farming he has always wanted to. The catch? He must simultaneously direct a porn film. But as he tries to make the porn film, which he turns into a musical called "Halloween in the Barracks," he must deal with a temperamental actor, a fundamentalist preacher, and other obstacles.
From the archive
Martin Mull's attempt at big movie making with lots of help from Robert Downey Sr. Not the best film, Mull, like a lot of comics, just did not quite have what it takes to be a lead character in a movie. Still it is an enjoyable film with enough semi-famous actors to make it worth viewing. This is a low res copy of the film but is the best I have been able to find.
