Outrageous Fortune
Lauren and Sandy are total opposites who end up in the same acting class and who don't know they are sharing a lover, Michael Sanders, who then dies suddenly in an explosion. Believing he's still alive, they set out to find him, only to discover they're being chased by spies, and that Michael is not who they thought.

I'm STILL trying to figure out why this film was a hit.

Such rarefied screen writing calls for the peerless talents of Arthur Hiller, a director with the comic timing of a tax auditor.

As a vehicle for their considerable comic talents, the enterprise is wheelclamped by typecasting.

There's more regressive coyness in this buddy adventure-comedy than anyone should have to sit through in a lifetime...

Unfortunately, the movie is so busy cross-polinating its genres that it never pauses for the kind of thought that might have made it really special, instead of just fitfully funny.

The plot here has been played out hundreds of times (and often better) in other films.
