Unfortunately this 30+ year old comedy-murder mystery has dated, but Wilder and Pryor are great in first pairing.

Hitchcockian in nature, the film goes down very pleasantly with just the right mix of humor and suspense.

Amusing comedy, but Pryor is not in it enough. Once they're together, it's gold.
