Good photographers are hard to find," complains Larry Burke, editor of the popular New York tabloid magazine "Flick." When he gets one look at the work of shutterbug Pat Marvin, however, he immediately knows he's found his man - the perfect photographer for "Flick." TroubIe is, Pat Marvin isn't a man - not by a long shot. That's just the beginning of trouble, because when Larry hires Pat and shows her the city, sparks fly between them - a situation further compIicated by the presence of Pat's fiancee Ben, who has accompanied her to New York and whom Pat impetuously teIIs Larry is her brother. With its fast pacing, snappy repartee, mistaken identities and even early spoofing of tabIoid journaIism, DoubIe Exposure is a cIassic screwbalI comedy in the tradition of His GirI Friday and The Front Page.
