Top Secret! (1984)
Directed by Jim
Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker this film stars Val Kilmer,
Lucy Gutteridge, Christopher Villiers and Omar Sharif. An American
pop star travels to East Germany for a concert and gets caught up in
a spy caper.
While this film may
never hit the heights of Airplane! (1980) it is still chock full of
jokes with small details in scenes being turned to comic effect. When
it comes to the plot it is best not to worry about it too much as
does not make a huge amount of sense but serves to keep the action
moving. The film is well made and the backwards sequence in the
Swedish book shop with Peter Cushing is a particular comic highlight.
4/5
