"Only a director in complete control can fashion something so effortlessly chaotic."—James Berardinelli, Reelviews

"Food at last for we who hunger for a screwball comedy utterly lacking in redeeming social importance."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

50th Anniversary! | A part of the Peter Bogdanovich: In Memoriam series

This hilarious screwball comedy goes a mile a minute wearing it's cartoony influences on its sleeve in a mad dash with a suitcase mix-up from the ballrooms of the Bristol Hotel to the streets of Downtown San Diego with off the charts chemistry between Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. Carefree, eccentric Judy Maxwell (Streisand) has a suitcase with an encyclopedia and a nightgown--and eyes for repressed, eccentric and Iowa musicologist Howard Bannister (O'Neal). Howard has a suitcase full of igneous rocks to prove an esoteric musical theory and an overly proper fiancée named Eunice (Madeline Kahn). None of them know Mr. Smith (Michael Murphy), who has a suitcase full of top-secret government documents and a nefarious man tailing him. Add another suitcase full of jewels, a crooked hotel detective and a jealous musicologist and a frenetic masterpiece of humor ensues.
