Hot Under the Collar

Jerry tries to seduce his girlfriend Monica via hypnosis, but it accidentally makes her want to enter a convent and take a vow of chastity instead. Jerry tries to get her out by disguising himself as a priest and, later, a nun. Alas, his rescue attempt crosses paths with a mobster who's looking for his hidden stolen diamonds in the convent. Things get even more complicated when the pope himself decides to pay a surprise visit.

Directed by Richard Gabai, Hot Under the Collar leans on a strong ensemble — Melinda Clarke, Richard Gabai, Jeff Bowser — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1992.
