Foul Play (1978)



A shy San Francisco librarian and a bumbling cop fall in love as they solve a crime involving albinos, dwarves, and the Catholic Church.

From memory: Likable, but messy Hitchcock spoof with lots of hit or miss humor, mainly watchable for its star cast.

Halliwell*: "Sometimes sprightly, sometimes tired rehash of Hitchcock elements, rather on the level of the similar Silver Streak."

Maltin**!/2: "Likable stars, good fun, but protracted story, tasteless comedy, and Hitchcock plagiarism detract."
