Review of Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) by Adam R — 05 May 2014

When Harry (John Candy), the last of the great sleuthing Crumbs - and the last person in the firm to ever get an assignment - finally gets a shot at a frontpage kidnapping, it's only because his beady-eyed boss Eliot Drasen (Jeffery Jones) doesn't want the case solved. At stake is the gorgeous daughter of multi-millionare P.J. Downing (Barry Corbin), a $10 million ransom, and Eliots's hot-to-trot mistress (Annie Potts). Attired in a bizarre array of goofball disguises, from a Hungarian hairdresser to a hefty housewife - Harry is bound, gagged and determined to crack the case and prove that when it comes to crime, he's one Crumb that won't be swept under the carpet.

Also stars Tim Thomerson, Shawnee Smith, Valri Bromfield, Doug Steckler and Renee Coleman.

Directed by Paul Flaherty.
