Outrageous Fortune (1987)

Seen on 19-2-13 - a hilarious comedy and a spoof to boot
Hilarious movie with Bette Midler and Shelley Long in the lead roles.  To jog my memory of other films I had seen of especially Bette Midler, I searched her filmography but didn't succeed in locating even one.  But I am sure the face is familiar and we both felt the same way.  However, it is a non-stop comedy and regales with its imaginative story and script.  Yet another important aspect of the film is that it could be regarded as a spoof because all through it mocks the high octane action movies with CIA and KGB spies chasing the same target and caught in the crossfire are the villains and good guys (here it is two helpless women comically trying and getting lucky to find a single lover-villain they quarrel over but agree on nailing!!)
