This film stars a very well known actor and a very well known mistress (in the film).

Now that's an immensely helpful clue. Really helps to narrow it down...

Sorry, I was being vague on purpose in case Frodo wanted to go.
And it actually is once you guys get it

This film also helped to booster / kick start the career of a well known band, particuarily one song.

I think I got the clue immediately, though I can't figure out what movie it might be...

[Moogle]

New clue :
"Plastics"

[Moogle]

New Clue :
"Heres to you..." (song lyrics)

[Mighty Midget]

"The Graduate"? I don't know about any plastic, and I don't know if Simon & Garfunkel got a much needed boost, but "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson...."

[Aristharus]

That's gotta be correct. It's got the "I've got one word to say to you. Plastics." scene.

Hmm, as far as I know they were already quite well-known by 1967...

[Aristharus]

I found that clue weird, too. They had released at least 2 albums before that: Sounds of Silence, which was a huge hit and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme which is IMHO their second best album. Might've been more, I can't bother to check but those I remember.

It might have boosted the career, I don't really know, but it really didn't kick start it. But anyway, with the "Plastics"-clue I don't think it can be any other movie.

[Mighty Midget]

So, am I right, or what?

If I'm right, then here's another one:

A man accidentially kills his toddler son and ends up as a divorced bum and drunkard. From thereon out it all goes downhill, both with him, his new love who's also a bum and a drunkard and an odd third bum and drunkard.

That sounds disturbingly similar to my life...

Except for the killing of the toddler son bit, I hope...

[BeefontheBone]

I reckon he just mean's he's got an odd third bum. Makes me wonder what's NOT odd about the second one

You get used to double vision after a while, you know.

[Mighty Midget]

Oh, a hint:

The two main characters are played by two very well known actors, actually one actor and one actress. The third character is played by someone who dabble in acting when he's not doing what he's most famous for, music.

Two Bums and Drunkards and David Hasselhoff?
