The 1975 box office hit Once is Not Enough starring Kirk Douglas and Deborah Raffin will make its DVD debut in late September from Olive Films, which has acquired the rights to many great retro film titles. Here is the official synopsis:
Based
on a Best Seller by Jacqueline Susann (Valley of the Dolls). January
Wayne (Deborah Raffin), the adoring daughter of movie producer Mike Wayne (Kirk
Douglas) returns home to New York, only to find her father married to Deidre
Milford Granger (Alexis Smith), the fifth richest woman in the world. The
marriage is one of the conveniences for Mike, who has lost his magic touch as a
producer, and is in desperate need of money to continue his and his daughter’s
lavish lifestyles. Jealous January bitterly resents her father and cannot
accept the moral codes of this new world, finding only frustration. She gets a
job with Gloss Magazine and falls in love with Pulitzer Price-winning novelist
Tom Colt (David Janssen), whose virile prose and celebrated fistfights turn out
to be a compensation for his physical inadequacies. Her Stepmother Dee wants
her to marry David Milford (George Hamilton), Dee’s handsome young cousin and
wolf-about-town, who’s having an affair with the reclusive retired movie star,
Karla (Melina Mercouri), who in turn is carrying on a clandestine lesbian affair
with Dee. Directed by Guy Green (55 Days at Peking), with original Music
and Score by Henry Mancini (Victor/Victoria). Brenda Vaccaro won a
Golden Globe® award (and an Academy Award® nomination) for her supporting
performance as the man-crazy editor of a fashion magazine.
