Doctor Harrison Steele (Julian Sands), you may recognize him from 'Warlock' (1989), runs an institute for psychic research. Sylvia Pickel (Cyndi Lauper) and Nick Deezy (Jeff Goldblum) are his most promising subjects.
They are hired for $50,000.00 to go to Peru to find the lost son of Harry Buscafusco (Peter Falk). When the son turns out to be Harry's age, a very plausible (yeah sure) explanation is given. Do we believe it?
This is a much-underrated movie. Take it for what it is. Peter Falk pretty much plays himself, outperforming Columbo. Elizabeth Pena does innovative acting. Googy Gress sings. There is a surprise ending and this leaves you with the nagging question "How do you say cookies in Spanish?"
