You mind tellin' me what the hell was goin' on back there?

Well, it's sort of like this. One of the girls down at the shop -- and don't ask who it is, 'cause I ain't gonna tell ya -- anyway, this guy Escobar took some, uh, pictures, I mean, some "art studies" of her...

What you MEAN is: this old boy talked her into posin' bare-ass for a bunch of pictures. And I bet that's not all they done.

Vernon Hightower, you got a dirty mind! For your information, Mr. Escobar was in the Army with Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine fame. How about that?

He pulled that one on her? I knew those gals in the shop wasn't the smartest things in the world, but I did give 'em more credit than that. And I'll bet you, that she's got a husband that's even dumber than she is.

Excellent &quot;Sleeper&quot; Screwball Comedy

This film isn&apos;t very well known, and should be, especially for Kim Basinger fans.  It proves once and for all that comedy is her forte, and that she has broad range between performances such as this and her role in &quot;Fool for Love&quot; as a character actress, and not just a pretty face or an adequate leading lady.  The chemistry between her and Jeff Bridges is  like TNT and drives the film forward, and the added comic bluster of Rip Torn as the villain (and the clever script and direction by veteran Robert Benton) makes this a comic gem in the true tradition of the 1930s screwball comedies, but updated for the 1980s.  If you&apos;re a fan of such films as &quot;His Girl Friday,&quot; and would like to see what that frenetic energy and great chemistry can be like updated into the 1980s, see this movie!
