A shy librarian and a bumbling cop fall in love in the middle of solving a crime connecting albinos, dwarves and The Pope. Stars Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Burgess Meredilth, Dudley Moore, Rachel Roberts.

Sweet, unassuming librarian Gloria Mundy stumbles upon a plot to kill the Pope, who will be visiting soon. 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.

First major film role for comedian Chevy Chase. Color by Movielab; shot with Panavision equipment, on location in and around San Francisco and Malibu, California. Copyright 1976 Shelburne Associates.

Foul Play Reviews:

"...FOUL PLAY, an excellent film, revives a relatively dormant film genre....[The film has] charm, humor and excitement....This is easily Hawn's best film to date..." -- Murf., Variety

"...[Hawn] is enough to make the most hardened villain or moviegoer melt....A slick, attractive, enjoyable movie..." -- Janet Maslin, New York Times

4 stars Light and Amusing
A light and amusing story - I have been awaiting its issue on dvd for many years - has throwbacks to Hitchcock's "The Man WHo Knew Too Much" but is more lighthearted with a superb car ride towards the end. Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase both look magnificent.

5 stars May I rate this 6 stars !
This is a film with no weak links, so intricately written and directed that it could be judged an all-time best comedy/thriller. The casting is masterful from the starring roles to the briefest bit parts. All the amazing ins and outs of the story come together in an unreal "to the rescue" speeding vehicle ride through the streets of San Francisco happening even as Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado is underway at the Opera House. A spectacular film from the genius Colin Higgins.

5 stars Funny and Suspenseful
I was thrilled to find this movie in DVD. When this movie first came out I returned 4 times to see it again. I classify this as the best movie I have ever seen...both scary and funny. Chevy and Goldie are wonderful together. Her sweet innocent portrayal is so credible. Dudley Moore plays a hysterically funny part in this. A terrific cast.

Based on Rumiko Takahashi's (RANMA 1/2) popular weekly comic strip, URUSEI YATSURA was one of Japan's most popular television shows during its run from 1981 to 1986, which produced 195 episodes of the show. The series followed the misadventures of Lum, a beautiful bikini-clad alien girl with horns under her green hair, and her misguided love for the skirt-chasing buffoon Arturo. Drawing from science fiction, Japanese mythology, and high-school hijinks, URUSEI YATSURA consistently produced zany premises and riotous action that involved everything from fire-breathing babies, magical earmuffs, giant ghost cats, a test-cheating machine, alien invasions, and plenty of scenes involving underwear. ...
