Inspired by Bringing Up Baby, Bogdanovich’s take on the screwball comedy, which pairs Ryan O’Neal as an uptight academic with Barbra Streisand’s dizzy dame, is his most overt homage to a bygone style of filmmaking. It is also one of his most enjoyable to watch, as the hilarious gags – scripted by Buck Henry – fly by at breakneck speed. Nominally concerned with four identical suitcases and the various people trying to steal and/or retrieve them, the plot is really just an excuse to land a befuddled O’Neal, playing against type, and a luminous Streisand in increasingly outrageous situations. In her screen debut, Madeline Kahn is shrill perfection as O’Neal’s rigid, humorless fiancée.
