HOLLYWOOD Threesome


Everyone in Hollywood is talking about the controversial threesome between three very talented actors.

When the very private relationship between Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis became very public, it was only a matter of time until a book about their lives went into publication.

Not ever fully identifying the two stars, Rupert Holmes wrote the book Where the Truth Lies. Director Atom Egoyan, adapting the novel by Holmes, unwraps the tale of a team of comedy legends, Lanny Morris (Kevin Bacon) and Vince Collins (Colin Firth), who are clearly meant to be a fictionalized takeoff on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Where the Truth Lies debuted at Cannes this past May.

The film became very controversial because of one scene involving a threesome between Colin, Kevin, and Rachel Blanchard; it was given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA.

Atom, along with the stars and producer, Robert Lantos decided to release the film anyway as unrated.
