RiffTrax Presents: I Love Trouble
You're probably all familiar with 1994 romantic comedy thriller I Love Trouble, starring Julia Roberts and 1992's "sexiest man alive" Nick Nolte. Well, this I Love Trouble is not that I Love Trouble. Franchot Tone is Stuart Bailey, a private eye so laid-back he's practically asleep. It doesn't worry him one bit that he's A) Going to be played by Efram Zimbalist, Jr. in 77 Sunset Strip ten years later, and B) About to be framed for murder when he agrees to investigate the case of a politician's wife. Suspects abound, secrets are uncovered, and dead bodies are... well, not doing all that much, because they're dead. A grizzled cop called Quint, who we assume delivered the bomb, is breathing down Bailey's neck, and there's plenty of fun to be had figuring out how anybody kept a straight face saying character names like Janie Joy, Boots Nestor, and Buster Buffin.
