About A Fine Mess
Two friends discover a plot to fix a horse race and try to capitalize on it, but soon have to deal with the two men who fixed it, the police investigating it, and the mob boss whose amorous wife is mixed up in it.
Directed by Blake Edwards, A Fine Mess leans on a strong ensemble — Ted Danson, Howie Mandel, Richard Mulligan — 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 1986.
