Synopsis:
She is beautiful, sexy and blessed with the voice of an angel. He is jaded, deceitful and up to his neck in debt. She is Marla Dorland, a legend in her own time. He is Marty Starr, founder of Purple Star Records. He is also the man who transformed Marla into a household name. In fact, he changed her name... from Mavis Davis. But Marla has aged, her record sales have slumped and half her fans switched allegiance to Alanis Morrisette! Meanwhile, Marty has had his house repossessed, his Jaguar blown up and his life threatened by two unsavoury loan sharks. Oh yes, and there's that little problem of his money-grabbing ex-wife, to whom he owes three months' worth of alimony.
For a terrifying, heart-stopping moment, Marty Starr sees no way out of his catastrophic predicament. Then, inspired by the voice of Elvis Presley, he stumbles across a path of escape and untold wealth. Of course! Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain...all revived their fortunes in the after-life! Marty is going to ensure Marla reached the pinnacle of fame she has always wanted. He's going to save her from a lifetime of appointments with the plastic surgeon by arranging one major appointment - with death! So all Marty has to do is to stage a tragic demise for Marla... Rik Mayall, Jane Horrocks and Danny Aiello star in Bring Me a Head of Mavis Davis, an acerbic comedy of motive, revenge and profit. Chronicling a world in which nothing succeeds like death, the film follows Marty's non-stop action packed attempts to wipe the million dollar smile from Marla's face...
