Peter Bogdanovich wrote and directed this quirky romantic comedy that was shelved by
Twentieth Century-Fox for a year, until Bogdanovich purchased the film from Fox and tried to distribute it himself, with limited success. Suave John Russo (
Ben Gazzara), inept Charles Rutledge (
John Ritter), and hip Arthur Brodsky (
Blaine Novak) all work for a detective agency, where they are assigned to follow a trio of beautiful women -- Angela Niotes (
Audrey Hepburn), Deborah Wilson (
Patti Hansen) and Dolores Martin (
Dorothy Stratten) -- whom their husbands think are cheating on them. Soon the three detectives all become romantically involved with the women they are trailing. In a real life scenario that overshadowed the film itself, Bogdanovich was having an affair with
Dorothy Stratten during the production and they were being followed by a detective hired by her husband
Paul Snider, who as a result ended up murdering his wife and himself.
