In the movie Sheila goes to a party. There is a tune playing constantly. I have been trying to find out the name and the artist for years. It's a very distinct funky tune and it's the only one heard in the party.
If someone knows something about it please let me know!
Cheers

That was "Love Me or Love People"
shareLove Me Oh Baby Love Me, Won't you Love Me
Donna Summer should have worked that song but I don't think it ended up anywhere but in the movie.
Al Pacino's first ever movie role was as a guy at the party
I think he went uncredited.
I only remember this picture from a teenager's point of view. It made an impression on me. I'm 47 now and would love to watch it again, if only to help myself understand what I was like back at 15 years old. I cannot find this film on either VHS or DVD..I thought it was a wonderful little Gem of a film but it got nailed badly by the critics and so it goes...

Surely you jest about Al Pacino. He was Michael Corleone in The Godfather two years earlier!!!!
shareThe movie you're thinking of that featured Al Pacino in one of his first movie appearances (if not his first) was another ugly duckling movie called "Me, Natalie" starring Patty Duke. Pacino had a cameo as a boy who asks her to dance.
"Me, Natalie" and "Sheila Levine" are very similar. I saw them both many years ago and would love to be able to see them again.
i remember that all they sang was "love me, love me, oh baby won't you love me"
where can i find this movie??
I saw this movie for the first time last night on TCM, and that party song nearly made me turn off the movie. It was really annoying. Given femininism's prominence in the mid-1970s, I found this movie a curious throwback to a 1950s sensibility, which assumes that what women want and need to make themselves whole is to be married to a man - and if he's a doctor, all the better. Even after Sheila had demonstrated that she was quite smart and capable, her answer is still yes to Roy Scheider's question at the end about whether she still wants the same things she wanted at the beginning of the movie, namely to find her Prince Charming. The host on the "Girlfriends" series on TCM made an intriguing comment after the movie. She said that the Roy Scheider character is not even in the book the movie is based on. It makes me wonder why the filmmakers felt the need to include him in the movie in such a pivotal way.
shareI was also turned off by this movie. I thought it was going to be a modern view of a woman going to the big city to establish a career but instead it just turned into another woman who cannot live without a man movie. The character of Sheila was so needy. She falls in love with the guy after spending one night with him.
shareI watched the movie again tonight on the DVR and even though she answers "yes" to the question as to whether or not the new Sheila wants the same thing as the old Sheila, when Sam asks her if she'll marry him she doesn't answer.
For some reason I missed this on the first viewing.

I saw this movie for the first time on TCM, too.
I enjoyed the movie and the song (the party song) does get stuck in your head. Because of seeing the movie, I downloaded the book onto my Kindle and I just started reading it (also because of the commentator's review at the end of the movie). Anyway, according to the reviews on Amazon the book is supposed to be a long suicide note (albeit a hilarious one) from Sheila Levine.
So far I've read two chapters and they're really funny.
I wish I knew the name of the song and the artist but I think it was done by session singers just for the movie.
