    Romancing the Stone meets The 39 Steps in a sardonic screwball adventure set around the Scottish Highlands and the French Riviera. Wine merchant Penelope Ann Miller discovers a rare bottle of 1811 Château Lafitte worth $1 million and plans to escort it to auction. But bon viveur villain Louis Jourdan wants it because written on the label is a formula for the elixir of life. Tim Daly is the suave action man hero who accidentally gets sucked into the Boy's Own adventure complete with offbeat action and sassy one-liners. An under-rated black comedy romp with many fun moments, it was William Goldman's first original script after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

  • A disappointing romantic comedy, given the talents involved, which fails to sparkle.
