Hanky Panky
On the run, falling in love and up to their necks in funny business!
Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner team up to blend their unique brands of comedy in this romantic, Hitchcock-style thriller. Wilder plays Michael Jordon, an innocent bystander turned victim turned hero. Kate Hellman (Radner) falls in love with him while looking for her brother's murderers. Together they're caught in a world of international intrigue, suspense and murder.
Ransom (Richard Widmark), a ruthless adversary, is intent on eliminating Michael. Pursued by Ransom, Michael and Kate embark on a bold mission which takes them on a wild ride in an airplane high above the Grand Canyon, to a hidden military command center, through a frenzied chase in the streets of New York and to a desert outpost where attackers besiege them from all sides.

A GREAT MOVIE - Old_Video_Man
This is a very funny film, and it has great action sequences. It is not just a comedy. Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner are a bit over the top, but they are terrific as the frantic action goes on throughout. It's more of an action film than a comedy, but both are balanced nicely by director, Sidney Poitier. The scene with the pilot, Mr. Puckett, is worth the price of admission.Expected it to be funnier - Trebor
Somehow with Gilda Radner and Gene Wilder I expected this movie to be much funnier. It is listed under Comedy--->Thrillers--->Romance and it is not a very funny comedy, not much of a thriller and not much of a romance. Even watching it for its nostalgia value, it left both me and my wife cold. We watched all of it and it fell into total slapstick at the end - it that is your thing - then it is a good movie. But no need to watch it twice .... once was once too many.
