About this movie

While making a movie at a racetrack, lady-crazed actor, con-artist, and all-around bungler Spence Holden (Ted Danson), stumbles on two goofball thugs, Turnip (Richard Mulligan) and Binky (Stuart Margolin) doping a race horse. Always ready and raring to cash in on a golden opportunity, Spence phones best buddy and rollerskating carhop Dennis Powell (Howie Mandel) for some quick loot. When the two hoods discover Spence's plan, the chase is on, taking all four guys on a madcap comedy romp that includes hightailing it from the cops, the mob, and the gangster husband of one hot-to-trot wife! Written and directed by Blake Edwards, A Fine Mess features a great soundtrack with music by The Temptations, Mr. Mister, and Smokey Robinson. © 1986 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.
