Foul Play

[biggytitbo]

This is a bit of a neglected classic I think. Certainly one of the best mainstream comedies of the 70's and a cracking hithcock/thriller homage to boot. Goldie Hawn is gorgeous and has an impecceble light comic touch, even Chevy Chase is good and that 10 minute Dudley Moore cameo is so funny he became a Hollywood star off the back of it:
DUDLEY MOORE 'FOUL PLAY' STAYIN ALIVE

Lots of other great bits too, like the two old ladies playing rude scrabble and the dwarf cruelty. If you haven't seen it, see it!

Ha! I saw this in Bournemouth when I was about 11 as part of a double bill with one of the Airplane films. I've never seen what the old ladies wrote in the Scrabble game, as my mum put her hands over my eyes. I do remember getting weird stirrings whilst looking at Goldie Hawn though.

Nah, that was because of 10 - but it's a lovely scene and the film is highly enjoyable, like to see it again.

He was cast in 10 on the basis of this film I believe.

Dudley Moore saved my sister from Jesus, so I'll always be grateful to him. Whilst 14 she became obsessed with religion due to a teacher at her school, and went round telling everyone they weren't a proper Christian as they hadn't accepted Jesus in to their daily lives in the way that she had. It was a trying time, but then out of the blue she got a massive crush on Dudley (partially due to Arthur, but she's seen pretty much everything he's done) and Jesus went out of the window.

I'm fond of Foul Play, but when it comes to neglected classics[nb]Or at least really quite good films[/nb], I think his version of Unfaithfully Yours definitely deserves more acclaim.

Great film. A definite rainy-day-at-home watch. Checking up, looks like I recorded it off BBC One on the 12th of December 1997. Thrilling detail indeed.

Here is the soundtrack.

The other Chevy/Horn film, Seems Like Old Times, is worth of viewing.
