It does not take long before they realize the only solution is to kidnap one of the town’s celebrated quintuplets and hit the road!

Bill Murray & Howard Franklin’s Quick Change
(R, 1990, 89 min)
First-ever screening at Retro!
Bill Murray plays a frazzled urbanite who disguises himself as a clown and sets out to rob a bank. Geena Davis and Randy Quaid play accomplices in his daring scheme and Jason Robards is the blustery cop caught up in Clown Day Afternoon. Swiping a million buck is a snap compared to getting out of town. Murray and cohorts commandeer a car, a cab, a bus, a baggage tram, and a plane to make what becomes a less-than-merry escape.
