    5/5
    Absolutely batshit insane noir about a proudly shady used car salesman who fails miserably at the Hollywood game. Has a level of casual debauchery hard to match, even within the genre. All of that, however, takes a backseat to the strong metafictional elements and structure, which manages to be clever and satirical, as well as hysterically funny.

    Bizarre story. A used car dealer decides to make a motion picture. As he's going about it, he manages to french kiss his mother and do despicable things to a few other people. Along the way, Willeford gives us his opinions on the movie business, screenwriting, hiring ex-servicemen, and various other things. The ex-servicemen part would appear to be autobiographical. It appears that the publisher let Willeford do whatever he wanted to do for this one, then gave it a semi-lurid, inaccurate title to help it fly off the drug store book racks.None of which is to say you shouldn't read it. It is Willeford, after all. This was made into a movie in 1999.
