plot summary for Find the Lady:"A New York detective who likes pizza keeps an eye on a hoodlum hired to kidnap an heiress."
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 June 2020 11:36 (three years ago) link
or, from Wiki:"The plot involves kidnapping schemes all involving the same woman except the wrong woman gets taken and the right one runs away with her boyfriend."
That Garbo Talks one is haunting me.
I don't remember the movie specifically, but that sort of thin-point whimsical caricature was on many a hard-shell VHS box at my local video rental store.
― pplains, Friday, 12 June 2020 12:21 (three years ago) link
The ultimate proof that I was an indiscriminate movie-crazed child: I watched Garbo Talks when I was 7 or 8 years old because it was on cable (remember nothing about the movie now).

Surprised this connection wasn't mentioned above (from Leonard Maltin's review of Find the Lady:
Candy and Dane played same characters a year earlier in IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME.

Up the Academy, 1980
― visiting, Monday, 15 June 2020 03:35 (three years ago) link
The film was neither a commercial nor critical success when it was originally released, and was disowned by both the staff of Mad magazine and actor Ron Leibman (who, despite his sizable role, had his name completely removed from the credits and promotional material). Besides paying Warner Bros. $30,000 to remove all references to Mad from the film when it was released on home video, Mad's publisher William Gaines issued personal handwritten apologies to every person that wrote the magazine to complain.
I watched AMERICAN GRAFFITI again last week and was slightly surprised to see that its poster was in this loveable style.
I had always thought it was a slightly more serious film!
