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