A Particular Fourgy

.

I was looking up something about Alfred Hitchcock on IMDb earlier and noticed that the address of his IMDb page is "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000033/" and it got me wondering who gets to be "nm0000001." Turns out it's Fred Astaire. Then "nm0000002" is Lauren Bacall, and "nm0000003" is Brigitte Bardot, and "nm0000004" is John Belushi. What an odd line-up. I suppose it's mostly random, with a slight bent towards the alphabetical. But it did get me trying to picture what a movie starring these four actors would be. A French noir musical sex comedy? Sacrebleu! What movie would you make for these four?

I don't know if it's too obvious, but I'm thinking 'Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?'. I'm having trouble coming up with anything but adaptations of existing four character plays - Streetcar!?, God of Carnage?
For a bonus point though, it could be directed by nm0000005.
My other idea is for a multi-actor biopic in the style of I'm Not There, but I have no idea who that would be of.

I love the Virginia Woolf idea, Jamer, that's fantastic, I can totally see it.
