	Movies - Foul Play

Foul Play is a 1978 comedy, thriller film starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Also featured are Burgess Meredith, Brian Dennehy and Billy Barty. Dudley Moore also has a recurring gag role in one of his first feature film appearances. This movie turned out to be a vehicle for both Chase and Hawn.

Plot

Gloria Mundy (Hawn) is recovering from a recent divorce when she decides to pick up an attractive hitchhiker. Somehow her encounter with him has ensnarled her in a web of murder, deceit and a pending execution attempt. Why are an albino, a dwarf, a Turk and a Catholic Bishop intent on killing her?

Detective Tony Carlson (Chase) is assigned to protect Mundy from her would-be assassins. Will they uncover the sinister plot before it's too late?

Trivia

In the "Scarface" Don Calfa attack scene in this film, the television in Gloria's apartment is airing the news. The newscaster announces that Vice-President Abernathy arrived in Guam. Interestingly, the film fails to include Walter Mondale, the Vice President of the United States at that time.
