    • Goofs
      When Kim Basinger is looking through her closet for lingerie, she pulls down a large grey box labeled "Scarborough's". This is an '80's-era shipping box for the former high-end department store, not a '50's-era box. (Scarborough's is now closed).
    • Quotes

      Vernon Hightower: You mind tellin' me what the hell was goin' on back there?

      Nadine Hightower: Well, it's sort of like this. One of the girls down at the shop -- and don't ask who it is, 'cause I ain't gonna tell ya -- anyway, this guy Escobar took some, uh, pictures, I mean, some "art studies" of her...

      Vernon Hightower: What you MEAN is: this old boy talked her into posin' bare-ass for a bunch of pictures. And I bet that's not all they done.

      Nadine Hightower: [miffed] Vernon Hightower, you got a dirty mind! For your information, Mr. Escobar was in the Army with Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine fame. How about that?

      Vernon Hightower: He pulled that one on her? I knew those gals in the shop wasn't the smartest things in the world, but I did give 'em more credit than that. And I'll bet you, that she's got a husband that's even dumber than she is.

      Nadine Hightower: [ironically] Hmm.

    An inoffensive lark; nothing exciting or memorable about it...
    Robert Benton wrote and directed this daffy comedy about a Texas manicurist in 1950s Austin who enlists the aid of her estranged husband to help her retrieve some sexy photographs she had taken by a unscrupulous shutterbug; swiping blueprints for a new highway instead, the bickering couple are chased by both the police and a crooked kingpin who's out for blood. Sassy talk and gumshun are the highlights of this pleasant whiff of an idea--sort of an old-fashioned throwback to the cinema's second-feature--but it runs out of steam after an hour or so. Kim Basinger gets to show off her squirrelly side which is very appealing, and Jeff Bridges is a good match for her, but the ramifications of an early murder, the contents of the file, and the plot elements with the gun-toting villains, Bridges' new girlfriend, and Basinger's secret "condition" are not immediately captivating. Didn't Benton realize that the central relationship alone was more engaging than the chases and the overlong shoot-out finale in a junkyard? He was trying for a breezy screwball effect, but this approach is only successful in setting up the story. The rest is irrelevant. ** from ****
