Entertaining comedy about an overly eccentric woman attaching herself to a man who is in a pivotal point of his life; he is about to get married and is about to receive a needed grant to research igneous rocks. Instead, he gets himself mixed up in a screwy situation involving four identical and mismatched luggage, some with very important and secret materials inside! Each cast member is absolutely perfect in their roles in this very funny comedy. The downside is that it sometimes gets too loony. Madeline Kahn does an excellent job in her movie debut as the over-the-top fiance.
