Buy This Item Foul Play by Paramount  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-25-2008     Not short on murder, mayhem, or any other screwball '70s conventions, <i>Foul Play</i> 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 <i>Saturday Night Live</i>, does the closest thing to real acting he would ever achieve (okay, maybe <i>Fletch</i>) 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. <i>--Keith Simanton</i> Reader Reviews For me this is absolutely one of the most entertaining American comedy films I've seen. It's just wonderful, every time I watch it. I could blab on and on about favorite scenes, quotes, or little quirky touches, but the bottom line is that if you've never seen this lesser-known treat, you owe it to yourself.
