Likewise, Jay Leno and Fran Drescher as Freed's chauffeur and secretary fall into each other's arms during the rock show after having bickered with each other throughout the whole movie. We are meant to think t hat it's the magic of the moment and they really liked each other anyway, but this is implausible if one attends to their characters, which are wonderful and funny, but not the sort that fall in love.

Early next morning a well-to-do L.A. couple, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, were similarly butchered.
