Richard Dreyfuss, Raul Julia and Sonia Braga star in this 1988 comedy.
Dreyfuss (Stakeout) plays Jack, a struggling actor who finds himself
playing the role of a lifetime while visiting country, Parador. When
Alphonse Simms (Also played by Dreyfuss). the President/Dictator
dies of a heart attack, Jack is persuaded by Simms' right-hand man,
Roberto (Julia) to take his place. Jack begins to better Simms' values
and also finds romance with Simms' sexy mistress, Madonna (Braga).
Paul Mazursky, the film's director also appears as Simms' mother
and Sammy Davis Jr. and Dick Cavett play themselves. This is an
underrated film with a good cast & score I recommend.
