IMDB
Goldie Hawn stars as a librarian who gets wrapped up in a weird plot to kill the Pope when she picks up a hitchhiker who gives her a pack of cigarettes. Chevy Chase is a suspended police lieutenant who has an interest in Goldie Hawn, and therefore worms his way into her case.
Excellent movie that is an homage to Hitchcock. Goldie Hawn is great and extremely attractive. Chevy Chase is kept in the background, which is good for him in this type of movie. It's more of a thriller than a comedy, but Chase lends some tension breaking with his glib remarks. This movie is all about creating tension, and it does a great job.
Written by the writer of Harold and Maude and Silver Streak. This film bears more in common with the latter, though, yet has the humor of both. Definitely worth watching if you're a Hitchcock fan.
7.5/10
