1960s Style Crime Comedy
22 October 2023
Something starring Richard Lewis and Sean Young seemed kind of cringe to me, but I like John Candy. Of course he stole the show as the gold-digging gambling addict married to a woman who seems impossibly out of his league, while George Hamilton stopped by every few scenes as comic relief playing an aging gigolo who appeared poised to offer everyone some Grey Poupon at any moment.

Once Upon a Crime reminds me of flicks like The Pink Panther or could be a 90 minute sketch comedy satirizing giallos. I laughed out loud more than once. Of course this movie is somewhat formulaic and full of silly gags, but it's a really fun watch.
