When Gloria realizes she's been marked for murder, she goes to detective Tony Carlson for help. Together the twosome set out to unravel the wacky but heinous murder plot. Along the way they encounter a deadly midget, a shadowy albino, a wild and kinky swinger (with an unbelievable bedroom), vanishing cadavers, and much more, culminating in a wild car chase through the steep streets of San Francisco. And as they make their way through all the lunacy, Gloria and Tony might just be falling in love, too... Chase and Hawn are the reason to watch this Hitchcockian update. [More]

Reviews for Foul Play
If you haven't seen it, or you just want to relive a bit of goofball 70s comedy history, then it's worth grabbing for a rental.
... a charming, entertaining film that competently combines ... an albino dwarf, a scar-faced man, and disappearing corpses with good old-fashioned romantic comedy.
