Down and Out in Beverly Hills is a 1986 American comedy film based on the 1919 French play Boudu sauvé des eaux, which was later adapted as Boudu sauvé des eaux, a 1932 film by Jean Renoir. Down and Out in Beverly Hills was directed by Paul Mazursky, and starred Nick Nolte, Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss.[3] The plot follows a rich but dysfunctional family who save the life of a suicidal homeless man. Musician Little Richard appears as a neighbor,[3] and performs "Great Gosh A'Mighty" during a party scene.
Released by Touchstone Films, a film label of The Walt Disney Studios, Down and Out in Beverly Hills has the distinction of being the first film released by Disney to receive an R rating by the MPAA. The film was Dreyfuss's first substantial hit after his much publicized drug problems and helped to reignite his career.[4]
