Under the Rainbow

Somewhere, Under The Rainbow, way down low - Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher and 150 midgets are fighting valiantly to save our country against all Oz! Take a Hollywood hotel in 1938 and fill it with 150 destructive and randy midgets involved in making the classic MGM musical fantasy The Wizard of Oz. Add a secret agent trying to protect a visiting Duke and Duchess from an assassin and a lovely young woman facing the impossible task of controlling the midgets. Stir in more zany fun with the arrival of two Axis agents who come to the hotel to plan the World War Two invasion of America and mix well with a group of Japanese photographers unable to speak any English. And there you have just some of the ingredients of the happiest, most hilarious and entertaining screwball comedy in years! The casting is spot on, headed by comedy expert Chevy Chase (Foul Play, Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation) as the secret agent up to his eyes in escalating trouble. Romance comes from the delightful Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame as a talent scout with 150 little problems on her hands and veteran comedienne Eve Arden and Billy Barty and Mako as enemy agents who don't know what each other looks like! If you loved the Wizard of Oz, you'll be helpless with laughter when you find out what really went on behind the scenes of its filming.
