Many quirky characters' lives come to a head in this wacky farce including a con man, Doc, and his new-found love, Alexia. This screenplay was well thought-out and constructed.
A colorful movie about an old money and a bit nutty family living in the tropics. Their lives are disrupted by an asylum escapee, and the hit-man and two shrinks chasing him. The escapee is run over by the family's daughter, the world's worse adult driver, who was promised jail time if she ever drove again.
• Script: 106 pages
• Low budget film with very few locations
• Big name female star is hidden under a very shapely mummy wrap and isn't seen until the last scene. A great guest star opportunity.
• Heartfelt scenes between Alexia and Doc as he softens his pitch when he falls in love. And again when she learns that he was being nice just to get her money.
• Sighs of relief when Alexia learns the truth about Doc, his charity work, and the asylum he owns.
• Twenty experienced companies offering location scouting, casting, wardrobe, props, crew, film production, catering, police and fire departments, and the laws of the United States for protection.
• Waterfront accommodations nearby.
