Overboard (1987 Garry Marshall)

Charming film written by Leslie Dixon, who also wrote Outrageous Fortune (also 1987), Mrs Doubtfire, Pay It Forward and That Old Feeling. This has the feel of an old thirties classic, exploiting the relationship between couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell (they first appeared together in the 1968 The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, then began dating whilst filming Jonathan Demme's Swing Shift in 1984).

Edward Herrmann is the husband and Roddy McDowall the butler was also executive producer. Hector Elizondo has his usual cameo... this time as a Portuguese fisherman!

John Alonzo shot it. Really good fun.
