Con men, couture, and kung-fu metermaids collide in this offbeat 1978 thriller.
THE FOX AFFAIR
Rogers and Anders are an inseparable pair of con men who pay off a wealthy industrialist by providing him with dim, beautiful women. These lovelies are easily scored off the street and outfitted with elegant gowns from a high-class boutique the duo has an arrangement with. There's one thing that Rogers and Anders haven't expected, though, and that's for their Hong Kong nemeses to dispatch a vicious assassin to the States for revenge! Luckily, they meet up with Felicity Fox a "gorgeous and naïve metermaid" who flunked out of the police academy, but can still hold her own when it comes to kung-fu fighting!!!
Metermaids rarely get this much kung-fu screen time—or this many elaborate dresses.
When your con game involves dim beauties and bespoke gowns, expect international grudges—especially from Hong Kong assassins. Lucky for these swindlers, the only thing friskier than their scams is Felicity Fox, a metermaid who swaps parking tickets for roundhouse kicks.
