Welcome to the 70’s! In this week’s episode, we walk down Heather’s childhood lane, quite literally to the movie she used to watch at her friend’s house over and over because she wasn’t allowed to watch such filth at home. We give you, the box-office success and movie that catapulted Goldie Hawn and Dudley Moore to fame, “Foul Play.”
If you are confused by Goldie Hawn’s obvious Farrah Fawcett feathered hair, don’t be, as Farrah was originally pegged for the lead. (Oops. No wonder I wasn’t allowed to watch this movie) Sarah and Heather don’t agree on everything, as you might already be aware of if you dabble in our podcast, but there is one thing we whole-heartedly agree: Watch this movie for the scene stealing Dudley Moore in his bachelor-pad alone. If you ever wondered why men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, this scene perfectly explains it all, in technicolored florescent lights, accompanied by a light Spanish Fly digestif. You cannot look away.
Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn cohesively and comedically canoodle in this “Ode to Hitchcock” farce, that also simultaneously blasted Barry Manilow to fame from his opening title song, “Ready To Take A Chance Again.” Now that is one sentence I never thought I would be writing, but here we are.
