Funny Farm
George Roy Hill’s ‘Funny Farm’ stars Chevy Chase as Andy Farmer, a big-city sportswriter.
Since he and his wife, Elizabeth (Madolyn Smith), are fed up with the tensions of urban life, they decide to
buy a house in the country where each of them will be able to work on their book projects in peace. Shortly
after they’ve moved to a spacious farmhouse in a small New England village, Andy begins to realize that his
dreams of bucolic nirvana are, in fact, delusions. First the birds sing too loudly, preventing him from
concentrating on his work. Then he learns that there’s a corpse buried in their garden, not to mention snakes
in their lake. They have to make calls from the pay phone located in their kitchen, and the grasping
townspeople seem to have their meters running 24/7. To make matters worse for Andy, who can’t get started
on his book, his wife has sold her children’s book, with a squirrel protagonist named Andy, not long after
moving into the new house.
Spies Like Us
Looking for a way out of their mundane government jobs, Austin Millbarge (Dan Aykroyd) and Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) take the entrance exam for a CIA espionage program. Immediately chosen to take part in a top-secret mission in the Middle East by the officious Gen. Sline (Steve Forrest), the new recruits are set upon by Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Soon it becomes clear that the hapless pair are being used as decoys to expose the Russians for a Cold War nuclear showdown.
