An Uneven But Still Endearing Dramedy...Dorothy Stratten's Last Movie
This is an interesting, uneven comedy with some drama thrown in. It is also Dorothy Stratten's first major motion picture she starred in and sadly her last before she was murdered by her jealous husband, Paul Snider. That makes it rather sad, because Stratten was so beautiful on the screen; she had a luminescence very similar to Marilyn Monroe's. She had so much potential and could have been a major movie star. Hugh Hefner had high hopes because Dorothy was the first Playmate that showed such star power.Andrey Hepburn as Angela Niotes gives this movie a lot of glamour and class. By this time, she was not making many movies, so it was amazing that the director, Peter Bogdanovich, was able to obtain her for this film. Audrey would make two more movies after "They All Laughed" before she passed away in 1989.Another actor that is gone was John Ritter as the endearingly bumbling private eye Charles Rutledge. He and Dorothy had nice onscreen chemistry and was delightful in his role. Ritter's role was based on Bogdanovich himself, so it was no surprise his character ends up with Dorothy's character (Dolores Martin) in the end. This movie was a sweet love letter to Dorothy by Peter, since the two were having an affair and had marital plans after her divorce from Snider was finalized. Peter released the movie after Dorothy died, but it did not do well at the box office.A pleasant surprise was Patti Hansen as the tomboyish Sam the Cab Driver. She was very good in this role and I'm surprised she didn't get cast in more movies. Ben Gazzara was good as the tough, cynical private detective who attracted many beautiful women. He falls in love with Angela Niotes, but it was he who ended up with a broken heart this time around.Colleen Camp brought tremendous energy and vitality to this movie. She played Christy Miller, a country-western singer. Colleen also did all of her own singing; she is a talented singer. She did release three songs with John Barry.This movie is billed as a comedy, but initially I found the plot hard to follow at times. It was rather uneven in parts, combining low-key comedy with romance, zany farce and some drama. I'll admit after watching this movie several times, it grew on me. But I can also see why it was not a hit for Peter Bogdanovich. The humor was perhaps a bit too subtle and uneven for a romantic comedy. Still, it's a nice film to have for the nostalgia factor of seeing actors who are no longer with us.
