Product Description

From Amazon.com

Not short on murder, mayhem, or any other screwball '70s conventions, Foul Play is a wonderful vehicle for Goldie Hawn. She plays Gloria, a librarian "ready to take a chance again," who ends up the target of an assassination ring. Chevy Chase, fresh off of Saturday Night Live, does the closest thing to real acting he would ever achieve (okay, maybe Fletch) as Tony, the cop assigned to protect Gloria. Dudley Moore made an indelible impression on American audiences as Stanley Tibbets, a surprisingly kinky symphony conductor. But it's the quirky things that make this film: the grandmothers playing Scrabble with expletives, Burgess Meredith's snake Esme, the old Japanese couple in the back of the careening limo. From the opening credits with Barry Manilow crooning the title song, this is a fond trip down memory lane. --Keith Simanton

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Goldie/Chevy/Dudley Classic, Nov 13 2003

By

"oryx2003" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foul Play (VHS Tape)

Dashing Chevy, kookie Goldie and Dudleys performance in his 'pad'. Add a dash of intrigue (which by todays standards will appear dull) and you have a mixture of laughs and mayhem. Its a great early vehicle for all actors and so sad that its been missing from the shelves for such a long time. Maybe dull by todays standards, but well worth the laughs that it still brings. Dudley steals scenes with his performance and I forgot how good Chevy Chase is/was and Goldie as usual with super humour timing. Scenes not to be missed, Dudleys disco pad!!! Keep an ear out for some of the lines. I think its time they brought this forgotten classic back.

I will always love this movie. Chevy, Goldie and Dudley are at their best. Very few movies have made a lasting impression on me, and this is one of the few.

This review is from: Foul Play (DVD)

Easy to order from the site, very quick delivery, would not hesitate to order from this supplier; only disappoitment was that I couldn't tell from the site if the DVD was widescreen (which I wanted.) This DVD is not but still love the movie and it isn't a huge deal. Thanks again.
