"Good Times" is a 1967 musical comedy film starring Sonny and Cher.

ynopsis

Sonny and Cher appear as themselves in this spoof of various movie genres, including mysteries, westerns and spy thrillers. The plot revolves around a movie contract offered to Sonny by powerful executive Mr. Mordicus, played by George Sanders. Sanders also plays the antagonist in each of Sonny's ideas for the proposed movie, which are played out in a number of skits featuring music and dancing by the star duo.

The movie is notable for its director, William Friedkin, who would go on to direct "The French Connection", for which he won the Oscar for best director in 1971. He would also direct "The Exorcist", for which he received a best director nomination. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001243/ IMDb credits for William Freidkin] ] Sonny and Cher themselves continued a successful career together in television and recording before their eventual marital and professional breakup.

Reception

The movie received poor-to-middling reviews as a pastiche of so-so skits, though one critic credited veteran character actor Sanders for making the film "slightly less unbearable." [ [http://apolloguide.com/mov_print.asp?CID=5354&RID= Apollo's movie guide review of "Good Times", Wesley Lovell] ]
