Customer Reviews

A rather good detective story.

Browning (Chevy Chase) is a private investigator. Even though he is not in the protection business, a mysterious man pays him more than enough money, similar to “The Maltese Falcon,” to make it worth his while to protect a young lady. He finds the lady already dead, and while leaning over her, is dispatched himself. You would think it could end here; however, as with all things unsettled, Browning is assigned to return and solve his murder. One hitch is he must go back as a dog, Benji “Benjean”. My favorite quote was: Browning: Why can't I go back into my own body? Higgins: Because it has a hole in it. Seymour (Jackie), a writer interested in the case, is surprised to see Benji or B.J. show up everywhere she goes, but later, nothing surprises her. Omar Sharif (1932-2015) (Bart) is also surprised to see Benji show up everywhere; he is beginning to suspect B.J. of being the devil. Soon, he is sure of it. Surprise!!! According to the cover: Plans to shoot part of the film in London had to be canceled when the producers learned that all animals brought into England must be quarantined for six months. Instead, the company moved to the streets of downtown Montreal, which were made over to resemble London. This story is remarkably like what happened in the movie “Heaven Can Wait”, in which he has to return to a temporary body.
