  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Gloria Mundy (Hawn) has no idea what's in store for her when she picks up a hitchhiker and agrees to go and see a movie with him. After the man drops dead beside her and then disappears seemingly into thin air, Gloria is convinced that there's Foul Play at hand. And when she's chased by strange characters life takes a different turn, and Gloria finds herself involved with the handsome and lovable Lieutenant Carlson (Chase). (Tricia Littrell)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD is quite clean and solid; surprisingly good-looking for the film
