Was SOB a rip-off of Terry Southern's novel, which is now going to be made into a film? Check out these links which indicate that Julie Andrews had agreed at one point to star in a screen version of "Blue Movie" to be directed by Stanley Kubrick:

These interviews, along with descriptions of the novel, (I haven't read it), make it sound a little like SOB, except the original concept was going to "push the envelope" about as far as it could go. It certainly would have shaken Hollywood up.

I know that Shelly Winters was supposed to be Sue Mengers. I'm guessing that Loretta Switt was the ever-so-vicious Hedda Hopper?

but who is to say that that was the only inspiration? A director turning his wife's new film into a porno movie wasn't what happened in Darling Lili at all. It is closer to what happened in Blue Movie.

a fictional take on what really happened to Blake and Julie during filming of their mega-flop DARLING LILI (1970). The character played by Robert Vaughan is a parody of then-studio chief Robert Evans (who sabotaged Edwards and DARLING LILI), and other charactersnotably those played by Shelley Winters and Loretta Switwere also based on real people who were well-known-to-Hollywood insiders.
This film has zero to do with BLUE MOVIE.

but base your work on things you've experienced. And if Julie was offered "Blue Movie", the absurdity of her doing a porno film at the height of her career might have inspired Edwards to have his director hero do the same thing. You don't have to call it a rip-off if you don't want to.
