Callas Forever (2002)

An impresario has the idea, in 1977, of making a film with Maria Callas in which she would only lip-synch to her old recordings, as a way to overcome the fact that she no longer has a quality voice.

It's not very clear what the whole point is. My interpretation is the following: certain women will ruin the men who get involved with them; in the case where no romantic attachment is involved, a milder version of this is at play: she manages to lead him to the edge of bankruptcy and disrupt (maybe only temporarily) his love affair with someone else.
