Some Call It Loving, also known as Sleeping Beauty, is a 1973 romantic mystery erotic drama film written, produced and directed by James B. Harris and starring Zalman King, Carol White, Tisa Farrow and Richard Pryor.

[2] On a mansion balcony overlooking the sea, a young man, Robert Troy, approaches a woman, Scarlett, who is wearing a funeral veil.

Troy announces to Scarlett, who is in bed with a bald female lover, that he has purchased a Sleeping Beauty.

After his set, he checks in with a junkie named Jeff to make sure that he is taking the pills that Troy bought for him.

Her newest student is a young woman named Angelica, who dresses as a French maid and waits on Scarlett and Troy.

When the jukebox switches to a tango, Troy hastily shuts it off and closes a curtain to hide the women from Jennifer.

The next day, Troy and Jennifer dress up and go on a date to the jazz club, which is empty save for Jeff.

After so many years of the pretenses that he and Scarlett employ to amuse themselves, he is shocked to find that he does not want to create a false reality with Jennifer.

Realizing that his feelings are indeed real, he takes Jennifer away from the mansion in the Sleeping Beauty van included with his purchase of her.

James B. Harris found John Collier's story in Fancies and Goodnights while doing research for Stanley Kubrick's Lolita.

The rest of the band consisted of Conte Candoli (trumpet), Bob Brookmeyer (trombone), Dave Grusin (keyboard), Ray Brown (bass) and Stan Levey (drums).
