Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... Foul Play

 

Bob Scott: Beware of the dwarf

Gloria Mundy: Gee Scottie, I don't think there is a dwarf in this movie.

~Foul Play

1978

I saw this movie when it came out in 1978, and instantly wanted to paint my room green and yellow! And I eventually did! I just fell in love with the bright, enthusiastic and happy disposition, which wasn't a lot different from the personality of the movie's main character, Gloria Mundy. The movie is funny, it's mildly suspenseful and It's got a wonderful cast of characters, including a snake named, Esme, to keep your mind reeling! And you gotta love the cast including, Mr. San Francisco, Cyril Magnin, as the Pope, and San Francisco as itself! My beautiful home, has never been more beautiful! Well, I am partial, so that's probably not true, because any time I get a glance of the city by the bay, my heart sings. I miss home so much, but I will see her again soon, but for now, Foul Play, will hold me over. Watch it! Chevy Chase is hysterical, and Brian Dennehy brings the serious moments.
