One of my favorite Canadian comedies, starring Dave Foley, of “Kids In The Hall” and “News Radio” fame. A film about an executive who thinks he’s being framed for murder. He’s a fugitive in his own mind.
This is my first entry in a new series of posts I plan to do, which will feature some of my favorite movies that may have mostly been overlooked by main-stream media. Each month, I’ll add another of my favorites that I’ve found viewable via streaming media outlets, like YouTube. I hope you enjoy these movies as much as I do.
“The Wrong Guy” is a film about an executive who thinks he’s being framed for murder. A fugitive in his own mind.
Inspired by a sketch Dave Foley wrote during The Kids in the Hall days. Dave has said that it is one of his pieces of work he is most proud of.
