Olivia Newton-John: Twist of Fate

God has had just about enough of mankind's attitude, so He decides that He needs to destroy the planet in the immediate future--unless two particular humans, a struggling inventor and a bank teller, both with quite amateur criminal minds, can save the world. —Steve Richer <sricher@sympatico.ca>

Trivia
Although she'd starred in three theatrical movies and had made countless TV appearances in the 15 year prior to this movie, Olivia Newton-John was insecure about her acting abilities and decided to enroll in acting training in preparation for the film.

Goofs
As Zack leaves the bank, his mustache is almost all the way off. When he runs down the street, his mustache is completely back on his face, with no time to have fixed it.

Quotes
Debbie: [showing the stolen money to Brando, her pet cat] Chicken livers forever!

Crazy credits
The phrase "This film is Rated PG" is within the credits at the end before the PG rating tag actually shows after the movie.

Alternate versions
On older home video and TV versions, the 1953 20th Century Fox "Cinemascope" logo is oddly seen in place of the "then current" logo at the beginning of the movie. And at the end of the end credits, the tag "This film is Rated PG" is seen. Current home video and TV prints restore the "then-current" 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning and removes the "This film is Rated PG" tag at the end of the end credits.

Two of a Kind

Angels make a bet with God that if two selfish people can redeem themselves in a week, the world will not be destroyed. I'm guessing this is supposed to be some homage to Capra's "A Pocketful of Miracles." If so! WRONG! It's a disappointment in all areas. Travolta is way off base here. John tries to be a dramatic actress and is all over the place. The immense talents of Reed, Durning, Straight and Crothers are wasted in this lackluster film. The worst performance of Travolta's career.
