The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Of course I would have to give this film 10 out of 10 as my uncle was the main screenplay writer of Once upon a Crime. Rodolfo Sonego wrote screenplays for over 50 years living in Italy. He was a great story teller and someone suggested that he put his stories into writing. So Rodolfo Sonego did. If you check out his biography, you can see the number of movies that have been made in Italy. Alberto Sordie was the main actor that starred in his stories. My uncle visited Australia and my town, in 1968 to check out locations for "A girl in Australia" and created a great movie about a proxy bride after the second world war. You can see his humor in all his movies. I found a copy of this movie on DVD recently. GREAT

I saw this ages ago when I was younger and could never remember the title, until one day I was scrolling through John Candy's film credits on IMDb and noticed an entry named "Once Upon a Crime...". Something rang a bell and I clicked on it, and after reading the plot summary it brought back a lot of memories.I've found it has aged pretty well despite the fact that it is not by any means a "great" comedy. It is, however, rather enjoyable and is a good riff on a Hitchcock formula of mistaken identity and worldwide thrills.The movie has a large cast of characters, amongst them an American couple who find a woman's dog while vacationing in Europe and decide to return it to her for a reward - only to find her dead body upon arrival. From there the plot gets crazier and sillier and they go on the run after the police think they are the killers.Kind of a mix between "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" and a lighter Hitchcock feature, this was directed by Eugene Levy and he managed to get some of his good friends - such as John Candy - to star in it. The movie is mostly engaging due to its cast, and the ending has a funny little twist that isn't totally unpredictable but also is kind of unexpected.

I love this movie. I'm very good at spotting the flaws in a plot and this one had none. As a mystery, it works very well and makes sense. It is also very funny. Richard Lewis and Sean Young are quite goofy but I enjoyed them. I also loved the way George Hamilton says, "It's what I do." The locations are very beautiful, especially outside the Monte Carlo casino at night.

There seems to be hugely divided opinion on this one, with Maltin on the side of the naysayers. I'm in the cheering section.If you're looking for some light-hearted, frothy, comedic fare rent the intelligently funny "Once Upon a Crime". With a dynamite cast - Cybill Sheperd, Sean Young, George Hamilton and Richard Lewis - the plot centers around gambling, murder, and a lost dachshund. Filmed in ritzy European locales, including Monte Carlo, the film is beautiful to look at as well as a laugh riot. Belushi and Shepherd as a gambling-addicted American and his long-suffering wife work especially well together; Shepherd in particular shows off her fine comedic skills. George Hamilton puts in a fine cameo as a lubriciously sleazy gigolo. The only drawback for me is John Candy; I can't for the life of me figure out why this guy is considered funny.Ignore what the others say and give this one a shot.
