James L. Brooks' showbiz comedy
I'll Do Anything is "The Musical That Almost Was" (after test screenings
Brooks removed all the musical numbers in the film, turning the film into a songless romantic comedy). Matt Hobbs (
Nick Nolte) is a hardly working actor who finds himself raising his 6-year-old daughter Jeannie (
Whittni Wright) after her mother Beth (
Tracey Ullman) is sent away to prison. Since Matt now has to support a daughter, he has to develop more regular work habits. As a result, he takes a job as a chauffeur for a
William Castle-inspired schlockmeister named Burke Adler (
Albert Brooks). As Adler develops a relationship with divorced test-marketing researcher Nan Mulhanney (
Julie Kavner), Matt becomes romantically attached to beautiful development executive Cathy Breslow (
Joely Richardson).
