Colin Higgens wrote and directed this comedy/thriller clearly inspired by director Alfred Hitchcock. Goldie Hawn stars as a lonely young woman who gets mixed up in espionage and murder after a man she was seeing dies, and leaves a microfilm with her which some crooks want, and will do anything to obtain. Chevy Chase plays a San Francisco detective who meets her in his investigation, and is immediately attracted, and they must team up to stop a sinister assassination plan involving the Pope. Burgess Meredith costars as a wacky neighbor of Goldie's, as does Dudley Moore as a love interest. Though a hit at the time, this film goes on too long, becoming increasingly ridiculous.
