As Karew happened to catch the scent of the perfume Eve was wearing during the murder, and Lyons catching a brief glimpse of her legs as she fled, the two men realize that she must have been the killer. Furthermore, the superconductor itself looks like a coin, and, as Lyons' new-found employee and partner, Wally Karew, is blind, the two men are none the wiser.Įve and Kirgo determine that Lyons and Karew must have the "coin" on them, and decide to pose as their lawyers, after the two men are arrested on suspicion of murdering Scotto. As Lyons is deaf, he had no clue that this was all happening behind his back. Eve catches Scotto slinking off and then shoots him dead right in the shop, and flees. However, Scotto, the man charged with obtaining this object for them, decides to pull a fast one, and secretly hides it in the register till of concession shop owner Dave Lyons. In this manner, I suppose this movie is like "Outrageous Fortune", but with more testosterone.Eve Eve (Joan Severance) is one of the secondary villains in the 1989 action comedy film "See No Evil, Hear No Evil".Įve, along with her partner, Kirgo, are criminals instructed with delivering a room-temperature superconductor to their boss, Mr. Both movies feature a foul-mouthed duo thrust into great danger by a criminal plot. This Arthur Hiller movie is sort of reminiscent of his 1987 film "Outrageous Fortune" (reviewed for this website by yours truly). For those of you who only know him from "The Usual Suspects" or "American Beauty", watch this movie and see the prototype of the typical Spacey character. Spacey shows us in his role that he's always been great at playing immoral slimeballs. She has that dangerous edge and she's damn good at being bad. The character of Eve, just like Severance, is a pefect 10 AND a brick house and how often do you come across a combination like that? Her sleek looks and raven hair definitely give you the impression that she'd kiss you and then kill you. Why am I putting the leggy dark-haired softcore star ahead of the Oscar-winning actor? Simple.One look at Joan Severance and your jaw hits the floor. This rings rather true, for a lot of disabled people have to face scorn and ridicule while they live in this world.įinally, I must say some words about Severance and Spacey. Wally talks about how he was burned at the beach by someone who he thought wanted to go out with him, while Dave talks of how his wife left him shortly after he became deaf. A great example of this is the two of them, eating ice cream on a park bench. Wilder and Pryor are great at not only portraying the humorous moments of the movie, but also the quiet dramatic scenes as well. People don't understand their difficulties and in their contacts often insult and make fun of them. The both of them are trying to prove they don't need assistance when they, in fact, do. While autism isn't as great a disability as blindness or hearing loss, it's a disability nevertheless. Now it's up to Wally and Dave to clear their names, figure out the signifigance of the coin and keep ahead of Eve and Kirgo before they and Karue's sister Adele (Childs) get murdered. Before they go to jail, Wally empties the change box and gets this valuable coin. When the police come, they get the impression that Lyons and Karue are responsible for the murder. She and her assistant Kirgo (Spacey) are looking for a valuable coin which the bookie palmed into Dave's change box. While Lyons reads the ingredients of some antacid to him, he's shot and killed by a beautiful long-legged woman named Eve (Severance). Karue's bookie comes to the news stand because he's on the run from some criminals. After a conversation about their lives as disabled people, Wally is hired. The two meet when Karue applies for a job at Dave's stand. Dave Lyons (Wilder) is a deaf news stand owner who reads lips to understand other people, but often misunderstands what they say. Wallace "Wally" Karue (Pryor) is a foul-mouthed blind man in debt to his bookie.
