David Zucker In Retrospect

This season looks at the films of David Zucker, a filmmaker whose work helped define a particular strain of American comedy: fast, deadpan, and relentlessly precise.

Hoping to collect a huge ransom, a pair of inept kidnappers abduct the wife of a loathsome millionaire. But there's a slight complication - he's thrilled to be rid of her!
