Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Chevy Chase's immediate follow-up to Caddyshack, and his only film with Goldie Hawn despite their obvious chemistry.
Neil Simon wrote this specifically for Hawn after their Foul Play success, attempting to revive the 1930s screwball tradition for Reagan-era audiences.
