Off Beat (1986)
Director: Michael Dinner
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Librarian Reinhold (moonlighting for a cop friend) falls for law-enforcer Tilly in this impossibly mellow-yellow comedy: writer Mark Medoff (Children of a Lesser God) turns up as a police sergeant, mingling with a first-division supporting cast, which includes illusionist Penn Jillette. Did they show Mantegna, Keitel, Gwynne, et al, another script?Author: TJ
