After a bitter divorce, a custody battle that resulted in total estrangement from his teenage daughter and a mid-life crisis, Steven Dworman decided to produce and direct a funny movie based on his troubles. The film depicts the wife as having a lizard's face. And he premiered the movie in a theater five blocks from his ex-wife's Santa Monica, California, home. Now after selling half his infomercial and advertising consulting business to finance "Divorce, the Musical," Dworman hopes he will break even and maybe even make some money. "This certainly wasn't a revenge story. That was the farthest thing from my mind," said Dworman, 46.

经历过一次痛苦的离婚、一场使得十多岁的女儿对自己形同陌路的监护权争夺战以及一次中年危机之后，斯蒂芬·德沃曼决定以自己遭遇的麻烦为原型制作并导演一部有趣的电影。影片中的妻子长有一张蜥蜴的面孔。他在加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡市距前妻的住宅仅5个街区的一个电影院里首映了这部电影。德沃曼为筹拍《离婚，音乐喜剧》卖掉了他的商业电视及广告咨询生意的一半，现在他希望能够保本甚至赚点钱。46岁的德沃曼说：“这绝不是为了报复。我压根儿没有这种念头。”

Remarks：说不是报复当然有点牵强，不过他的作为看起来还有点真性情，其铜臭味不像我们这里层出不穷的各种“不得不说的事”那般浓烈。
