| A comic tale of financial woe, How To Beat The High Cost Of Living is the story of three high schooI friends, now grown, their dreams of suburban splendor dashed, who find themselves down on their luck just trying to make ends meet. The friends are: Jane (Susan Saint James, TV's McMilIan & Wife, Kate & Allie), a divorcee with a less-than-sympathetic boyfriend (Fred WiIlard, TV's Modern FamiIy, Best In Show), a house fulI of children and the added burden of her father (Eddie Albert, TV's Green Acres) who has moved in with her after his wife has dumped him; Elaine (Jane Curtin, TV's Saturday Night Live, Kate & AIlie) a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown with no financial support to speak of after her husband has left her for a younger woman; and Louise (Jessica Lange, TV's American Horror Story, Tootsie, The Postman Always Rings Twice) the owner of an unsuccessful antiques business who faces the added embarrassment when her own husband (Richard Benjamin, The Sunshine Boys, The Last of Sheila) sues her in order to declare bankruptcy. The tipping point has been reached. Together the wiIy trio hatch a plot to manage the high cost of Iiving by stealing a "money balI" fiIIed with loads of cash from the local maIl. It's a comic free-for-aIl when they decide to take the money and run. However, fate, and a locaI police officer (Dabney CoIeman, 9 To 5), may have something eIse in store for them in this Iaugh-fiIled, comic caper directed by Robert Scheerer (TV's The Love Boat) from a screenplay written by Robert Kaufman based on a story by Leonara Thuna. |
