Overlooked, underrated 1980's black comedy
11 January 2024
This is one of the funniest movies made in the 1980's that unfortunately did not get a wide release, resulting in it being overlooked. It premiered on HBO shortly after its release date. Great acting with a good script that keeps you engaged, interested and laughing.

The film's cast is probably its biggest strength - Jacqueline Bisset, Arnetia Walker, the late Ray Sharkey, Robert Beltran, Mary Woronov, and the late Paul Mazursky who does a wonderful performance as Sidney Lipkin. We also see another side of Barret Oliver who played Bastian Bux from The Neverending Story; this was also his final film.

The dark shadow that looms over this film is the murder of the late Rebecca Schaeffer, who was murdered a month and a half after the release of this film. It was this film that enraged Schaeffer's murderer, after he saw her in a scene in bed with another actor (the late Ray Sharkey).
