They All Laughed / USA / 1981

I was inspired to rent this because it was one of the few Audrey Hepburn films I hadn’t yet seen, but to be honest, she barely registers among the ensemble cast. If the film never quite gels as the “mad-cap private eye caper” my Netflix sleeve describes it as, it nevertheless has sort of a shaggy dog charm, thanks largely to winning performances by John Ritter and Colleen Camp. Its loving depiction of New York rivals that which can be found in Woody Allen’s films of the late ’70s and ’80s, so it’s really too bad that it’s chiefly associated with cast member (and Peter Bogdanovich girlfriend) Dorothy Stratten’s tragic death shortly after filming wrapped.

    …which is precisely why I want to see this, having strongly admired Fosse’s Star 80.
