Cast: Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Edward Hermann
Running Time: 112 minutes
Dean Proffitt is widowed
father of four boys working two jobs to make ends meet. Working during the day
as a carpenter, he is hired by heiress Joanna Slayton to build a closet in the master
bedroom of her yacht. After treating him rudely, she complains about his work,
pushes him off the boat and refuses to pay him. That night, she falls in the
water and ends up in the hospital with temporary amnesia. Her husband abandons
her there. Seeing this on the news, Dean Proffitt goes to the hospital, leading
her to believe that she is his wife, and he brings her home with him.
This is a silly, albeit fun, little movie made a whole lot better by the chemistry between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. There two work so well together, which is no surprise really. The end is predictable and the plot is a little cringy by today’s standards, but, taken for what it is, it is entertaining, nonetheless.
