A Fine Mess is a 1986 film by Blake Edwards.
The film was intended as a remake of Laurel & Hardy's classic short "The Music Box" and was to be semi-improvised in the same style as the director's earlier comedy, The Party, but studio interference, poor previews and subsequent re-editing resulted in the film becoming a fully-scripted chase comedy with very little of the original ideas for the film remaining intact. Writer/director Blake Edwards actually gave television interviews telling audiences to avoid the film. For this reason, it received overwhelmingly negative reviews and was a box-office failure.
[edit] Synopsis
An actor and a chef try to fix a local horse race. They must deal with two mafia hit men sent to stop them. Adding to the complications is the hit men's boss, whose wife is having an affair with the actor.
