Irma (Joan Rivers) thinks her husband is trying to kill her. The cut brakes on her car, the deadly-wired bath massager, being locked in the garage with a running car are all enough to give her that idea. Having a hired killer, (Meshach Taylor) tell her that her husband hired him takes this fear to a new level. Sounds like the makings for a good suspense story... but instead what we have is a comedy with only a few laughs. Thelma Hopkins, of "Tony Orlando and Dawn" fame, is entertaining but David Ogden Stiers falls flat on his face with a performance that is of high school stage play level.
Joan Rivers can be a very good actress and a few times during this movie we see that talent, although most of the time we have to listen to her yelps and yips as she stumbles though her part.
Not a bad movie, but certainly not anything but a time filler.
