Second viewing; previously viewed between 1983 and 1986.
A man is in San Francisco with his fiancée for an interview for a grant for his research on the musical property of rocks. At the airport, he meets a woman who keeps getting in his way and disturbing his plans. That woman has a handbag exactly like his. Another man at the airport with an identical handbag has stolen secret government documents. At the hotel, a guest keeps her jewels at another identical handbag.
Comedy emulating the screwball style. It has an inspired script, with more than a few funny moments. One might object that it is just an updating of something very old, but it's so consistently entertaining, and everything works so well, that it's hard really to criticize it for that.
Rating: 75 (down from 81)
