Product Information

According to Perry King, Andy Warhol wanted to make a movie about "bad women and incompetent men." [5] a b Lee, Grant. (June 23, 1976). "MOVIE CALL SHEET: The Right Moment for Miss M".

King said Warhol "makes no effort to communicate his concept of the film, but it's a strong concept. You begin to feel it. There is a short hand among these people. There is a very special Warhol world view here and it's hard to define. But it will lose its edge in the professional technique." [6] a b Thomas, Kevin (April 7, 1977). "Hit Women for Hire in 'Bad'". Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, California Part IV, p. 16. His ideas have often been seen on catwalks. At Calvin Klein in 2017 , Raf Simons put Warhol artworks in ad campaigns and on clothing, using the artist as a prism through which to explore American culture. In the 80s, Stephen Sprouse was inspired by the Camouflage paintings, while Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s SS84 collection included a Campbell’s soup can dress. King says he was cast without auditioning. He had just been in Mandingo (1975) which he says "was a big deal because it was kind of trashy. And trashy, to the Andy Warhol universe, was what they liked. Trash was big art to them." [5] Perry King later recalled "we actually all worked very hard on that film. Both Carroll Baker and I worked very hard especially... I think it was their attempt at a mainstream film... It was cast like it was a Hollywood film." [5]

The lead role was meant to be played by Vivian Vance but she dropped out and was replaced by Carroll Baker. It was Baker's first film in the US in eight years. [5] Baker had been making movies in Europe where she usually had to take her clothes off. "I'm looking to get away from that", she said. "People don't realize you're acting. They just see you're sexy and they won't take you seriously." [7] If you paid with a debit or credit card please be advised that this can take 3-5 working days to show on your account.

Not that Warhol ever knowingly played up his depth – cue one of his all-time greatest statements: “I am a deeply superficial person.” We've always wanted to make a big movie but we've never had the money", said Warhol. "You can't go to an investor and say, 'Oh Holly will improvise, she'll think of something to improvise'. And we love the polish of a professional film. If you can direct this, you can direct anything." [6] PLEASE NOTE: In some European countries you may be asked to pay a surcharge to receive your parcel. a b c d e Taylor, Clarke. (August 1, 1976).

Baker later said ""It had nothing to do with film-making, it had nothing to do with any other experience I ever had. It was like working on the moon. But he (Warhol) wanted me, he cast me in it, I wanted to do it, and it was such a big hit in Europe." [8] King says he, Baker and Susan Tyrell threatened to quit the film if they shot a scripted scene where a baby was thrown out the window. Jed Johnson promised not to shoot the scene but King says "the minute we finished shooting and had left--they went and shot that. As much as I hate it--it really fits in with the rest of that over-the-top universe." [5] Reception [ edit ]Warhol was not, however, just a trailblazing artist; he was also a star with an image to match. “He really understood the idea of having a public persona,” says Fiontan Moran, assistant curator at Tate Modern. “Pop art was made from familiar objects, it was accessible, and a winning combination with his distinctive visual identity.” The movie was made without Paul Morrissey and Joe Dallesandro, the director-star team from previous Warhol movies. Perry King played a Dallesandro-type role and says the crew would sometimes call him "Joe". [5] Director Jed Johnson was Warhol's companion at the time. [2]
