    Where to Watch

Farrah Fawcett-Majors and Jeff Bridges team in romance, mystery and suspense, filmed entirely in New York. Ernest: John Wood. Audrey: Tammy Grimes. Hubert: John Glover. Flo: Mary McCarty. Helene: Patricia Elliott. Preston: Laurence Guittard. Benjamin: Vincent Robert Santa Lucia. Frank: Beeson Carroll. Neighbor: Eddie Lawrence. Lamont Johnson directed.

Contrary to initial reviews, Fawcett's performance didn't kill this picture, the poorly conceived script and equally lifeless direction did. Bridges again shows his versatility as an actor, playing a Macy's clerk with aspirations of writing children's books. He's carrying on an affair with Fawcett, a store customer. When they discover her husband has been murdered, as well as a couple of neighbors and a fake detective, they become amateur sleuths. Their search for the real killer is filled with outrageous comic antics that culminate in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
