Not even the real Wizard Of Oz movie had so many midgets and dwarfs in its cast as Under The Rainbow. This nicely paced comedy starring Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher has Chase as a secret service agent and Fisher as an agent and handler for the various little people hired to play the Munchkins in The Wizard Of Oz. They're staying at Adam Arkin's hotel or I should say Richard Stahl's hotel where Stahl has left Arkin in charge.
Chase is staying at the hotel with Joseph Maher and Eve Arden a pair of displaced nobility from Europe who are in fear of an assassin who keeps trying for them, Chase is their security. In the meantime a German and a Japanese agent are trying to connect with Mako and Billy Barty playing those roles respectively. They're both trying desperately to make contact with each other because who knew a convention of little people would be staying there. Hard especially for Mako to find Barty in that situation.
While all the cloak and dagger intrigue is going on, the would be Munchkins have taken over the hotel and have turned it into party central. Where did they think they were, on the Animal House set?
Chase and Fisher prove to be valiant troopers in the midst of all the hullabaloo. This one is a real gem, one definitely to lift your spirits.
There's a party going somewhere both Over and Under The Rainbow.
