Roger directed for two days on a set left over from a previous production, and without a proper script. He hired Francis Coppola to write a script and finish the picture. After five weeks of shooting, Roger fired Francis, and hired me to finish the picture. Jack Hill was hired to write a new script with me. A lot of what Francis shot was thrown out, except for the stuff with the witch from WIZARD OF OZ. (Dorothy Newman), and I finished the picture in five days of shooting. All of the interiors are Roger's (with the exception of Francis's witch's lair), and most of the exteriors are mine. To the best of my recollection, and contrary to legend, Jack Nicholson did not direct any of the film.。正当年的陈耀宗处长(陈佩斯 饰)刚刚结束出国考察,太太大桂(丁嘉丽 饰)和部下鞍前马后接风洗尘,在豪华的酒店为他摆了盛大的一桌酒席。原来陈处长即将荣任企业局局长,所有人都不愿放过这个大献殷勤的好机会。谁知好景不长,鉴于中央“精兵简政”的政策,党组决定撤销企业局,所以“陈局长”的名头也打了水漂。陈耀宗沦为编外人员,原来的办公室易手一家装饰公司,而该公司的老板正是曾经陈的下级、并且与之有过一段风流传闻的玛瑞(田岷 饰)。耀宗对妻子隐瞒实情,每天四处寻找工作。关键时刻,还是玛瑞对其伸出援手。
习惯了高高在上被人奉承的悠闲日子,陈耀宗不仅要调整心态,从最底层做起,还要挠破头皮处理感情上的问题。掉了毛的凤凰不如鸡……。
