Overboard (1987 Garry Marshall)

A familiar old friend with its heart in classic screwball comedy (especially scenes on yacht, e.g. 'Do you need a valium? Here, take one of mine'), written by Leslie Dixon, with the unbeatable combination of husband and wife team Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

I think my favourite scene is where Goldie is told off by the school teacher about her kids then - on seeing them covered in poison oak - turns the tables on her.

You'd have to know the film really well to get this one

Lovely shades!
Props as plot points: knickers, T-shirt, birthmark.

Shot by John A Alonzo. Catchy music by Alan Silvestri.

Q recognises one of the kids - probably Jared Rushton, who was also in Big.
