"A Fine Mess" is a 1986 film by Blake Edwards.

The film was intended as a remake of Laurel & Hardy's classic short "The Music Box" and was to be semi-improvised in the same style as the director's earlier comedy, "The Party", but studio interference, poor previews and subsequent re-editing resulted in the film becoming a fully-scripted chase comedy with very little of the original ideas for the film remaining intact. Writer/director Blake Edwards actually gave television interviews telling audiences to avoid the film. For this reason, it received overwhelmingly negative reviews and was a box-office failure.

ynopsis
