"Good Comedy!"
Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner star in this 1982 comedy thriller.
A woman helps an architect who's falsely accused of murder.
I've always enjoyed this film and Gene and Gilda were great
together. This dvd has decent picture and sound, but only
a trailer. I recommend this good comedy.Oldie but goodie...
You can't go wrong with a Gene Wilder movie when you want to watch something fun. This movie has always been a favorite of mine, not just because of Gene Wilder, but because it feels like a mystery movie that just happens to be comedic. This is also a wonderful movie where you can see the comedic chemistry between Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner.Excelent Movie
It is an excellent movie. With amusing situations, both of action, suspense and a plot that keeps you close to the end. Finally recognized the genius of Gene Wilder.go gilda
wilder and gilder, the names look like they rhyme, but they are pronounced differently. of course, it's not gilder, it's gilda. and it's past my bedtime.Gene and Gilda together again
Hanky Panky is the third and last in a series of Hitchcock inspired comedies. Silver Streak was inspired on The Lady Vanishes. Foul Play was inspired by The Man Who Knew Too Much (the remake). Hanky Panky is inspired by North by North West. Each film is funny but as they use more prominent films they are more easily compared and do not fare as well. North by Northwest is one of Hitchcock's most famous films with some of his most famous scenes - the crop dusting scene and Mt. Rushmore. Therefore, this film starts in a hole and unfortunately never quite comes out of it.
Now that's the bad news. The good news is as a stand alone film, it is rather funny. Its stars are husband and wife team Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner. Both have a great background in slapstick comedy. Gene from his Mel Brooks films and Gilda from her stint on SNL. They get the most from every gag and situation. And director Sidney Poitier gets to stay behind the camera this time but uses what he learned directing the trio of comedies he made with Bill Cosby.
Wilder is Michael Jordan, a man who accidentally gets involved in espionage. Gilda is Kate Hellman, a woman who is trying find her brother's killer. At first they think the other is the bad guy but once they realize the other is not, they team up to solve the mystery. If you have seen North by Northwest, you will compare it unfavorably. If you have not seen NNW, then you might not understand some of the sight gags. But remember this is a comedy and is not to be taken too seriously. Just enjoy.
