US (1987): Comedy/Fantasy/Mystery/Romance/Sci-Fi
This terrible 1987 film, co-written and directed by Michael Gottlieb, stars Kim Cattrall as an ancient spirit from Egypt who occupies the form of a department-store mannequin. A store employee (Andrew McCarthy) is the only one who sees the woman within, and they fall for one another. A great idea that might have made a nifty romantic comedy in the late 1930s -- when Hollywood knew how to make these things -- is bungled here. Meshach Taylor (of TV's "Designing Women") is embarrassing as a flamboyant follower of fashion. You want comedies about spirits mingling with mortals? Try Topper (1937) or The Bishop's Wife (1947).
