Based on a real event, LOOPED takes place in the
summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead
stumbles into a sound studio to rerecord (or ‘loop’) one
line of dialogue for her last movie --Die, Die, My Darling.
Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and
convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today’s
celebrity bad girls. Given her intoxicated state and inability
to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious
showdown between an uptight film editor, Danny Miller,
and the outrageous legend.

She answered her front door naked. She went out in public without panties. She drank like a fish, popped pills, smoked like a chimney, cursed like a sailor, slept indiscriminately with men and women – and was eminently and shockingly quotable. Long before today’s misbehaving celebrities, there was acclaimed star of stage and screen, Tallulah Bankhead.
