“This obscure comedy works thanks to Garrett Morrisu0026#39; performance as intrusive census taker Harvey McGraw, who disrupts a quiet dinner for a suburban couple. The Dades (real-life couple Greg Mullavey and Meredith MacRae) and their smart-mouth teenage kids Robert and George III. When their sons go out for the evening, the questionnaire McGraw conducts starts to turn personal and the enraged couple shoot him dead. They must hide the body from their arriving company, Pete (a local detective) and his wife Eva. Though thereu0026#39;s not really any laugh-out-loud moments to be had, thereu0026#39;s several unique plot twists throughout the movie. No clue if this film was ever released theatrically, though it was issued on VHS under the more appropriate title Husbands, Wives, Money u0026amp; Murder.”
