In the amusing bit of 1930s period retro-screwball comedy fluff that is the 1998 film The Imposters, character actor Steve Buscemi plays this suicidally depressed cruise ship singer. A guy named Happy who's sad! This is irony so cheap, the filmmakers should pay us! His agent, who he loved like a brother, stole his wife, who he loved like a mother and a hooker. Although his character starts off breaking down mid-song, he (and everyone else) ends up happy and paired off by the finale, in the grand tradition of screwball comedies.
