Film Notes
Songs from this film were re-recorded for Kim's Solo CD, 'Take Me Away'. Many of the instruments used in on-screen performances and as 'set dressing' in "Nick and Harriet's Apartment" are from Kim's personal collection.

"A screwball comedy … a bittersweet romp set in the heady world of showbiz"

"This slapstick farce is charming, especially when Fried, who also wrote the script, is on screen as the heroine's best friend"

"A Canadian Indie-Classic."
