Retrospective
Today, almost twenty years following its release, Illegally Yours is seen as an underrated gem. It is slowly becoming recognised as one of the '80s best films and ranks without question as Rob Lowe's finest work.
Blending a 1930s fast-moving, fast-talking, Bringing Up Baby-esque romp under the assured hand of Bogdanovich, proved too much for the popcorn audience of the 1980s to take and it almost destroyed the career of all involved. Lowe plays totally out of type and is seen as nothing short of a revelation in the film.
