I watched Once Upon a Crime. It is on Tubi and Prime. It has John Candy (loved him), Jim Belushi, Cybill Shepherd, Sean Young, Richard Lewis, Ornella Muti, George Hamilton, Giancarlo Giannini, and Roberto Sbaratto in it. Semi Spoiler Below In this movie, a woman named Phoebe had traveled to Rome and she was on the phone and a dog ate some of her lunch. When she was looking in a newspaper, she found out that the dog she encountered was missing and there was a reward for the missing dog. She went looking for the dog and found the dog with an American actor. The actor agreed to split the reward with her. But on the train, he sells the dog to a gambler named Augie Morosco. But they find out that they have leave the train because they don't have the dog's papers. They try to give the dog back, they found out the dog's owner is dead. The body ends up in Phoebe's suitcase which another gambler named Neil Schwary finds. The killer ends up being someone not expected. I liked this movie. I miss John Candy. I'm watching next Once Upon A Crime. It's another movie with the same name made in 2023.

I’ve been meaning to respond to your other movie reviews, but I completely forgot because I hadn’t seen you post in a while. Why? Because you seem to watch either movies I like and should watch again, or ones I’ve never heard of but intrigue me after your excellent reviews. This falls into the 2nd category. Although I am a big fan of John Candy, I’ve never seen this movie. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is in my top ten comedy films, and Uncle Buck isn’t far behind. I’m going to add Once Upon A Crime to my watchlist on Amazon, and let you know what I think of it.
