Red Letters also stars Fairuza Balk, Ernie Hudson, Udo Kier, and Jeremy Piven.

A bored motel clerk and his buddies go for a little joy ride in a woman’s car. They don’t realize until it is too late that she is a paid assassin and that her latest victim is in the trunk. Thus begins the clerk’s descent into a shadowy world of lies and murder.

The classic 1955-59 sitcom The Phil Silvers Show (also known as “You’ll Never Get Rich” in its first few episodes) became this high concept comedy with an all-star cast. Steve Martin stars as U.S. Army Master Sergeant Ernest G. Bilko, a conniving motor pool supervisor who uses his position to finance various get-rich-quick schemes, including illegal gambling, at a Kansas military base. His commanding officer, Colonel Hall (Dan Aykroyd) is mostly oblivious to Bilko’s antics. Trouble arrives when the master sergeant’s old rival, Major Thorn (Phil Hartman), appears. It seems that Thorn, the butt of several past Bilko capers, is eager to settle the score by spearheading a review of Bilko’s records and stealing away his fianc?e Rita (Glenne Headley), who may have been left at the altar one too many times. At the same time, military engineer Major Ebersole (Austin Pendleton) is testing a new high-tech “hover tank” that may not be quite ready for deployment. Directed by light comedy specialist ($Jonathan Lynn, who brought a similar touch to My Cousin Vinny (1992) and Greedy (1994), the updated Sgt. Bilko costarred Cathy Silvers, daughter of the TV show’s late star, as Lieutenant Monday.
