Turnabout

Plot synopsis:
Tim and Sally Willows (John Hubbard and Carole Landis) are a spoiled well-off couple who constantly bicker and cannot agree on anything.
Tim Willows is considered to be the main cog in the machinery of his own advertising company Manning, Willows, and Claire. His wife Sally is his exact opposite, pampering herself in their home all day. And when Tim gets home, they start arguing, constantly watched by a strange Indian idol they got from a distant relative of Tim's. They call it Mr. Ram.
After one extraodinarily stressful day at the office, Tim comes home to find Sally in the bath, and they start arguing like never before. In the heat of the moment, Tim expresses a wish to switch places with his lazy wife, to see how she goes about her days at nearly half speed. Sally also makes the same wish, seriously doubting the strain of running the advertising firm, having fun all day long. The Indian idol on the wall overhears their respective wishes and makes them come true, speaking loudly from its place on the wall.
When the couple wake up the next morning they have indeed switched places and bodies with each other. Chaos ensues, as active Tim stays home with the servants and wives of his colleagues all day, in Sally's body, while she goes to work and manages to be rude to the firm's biggest client. Sally also succeeds in landing another client that Tim had denied business before.
When the couple finally meet again in their home at night, they both beg on their bare knees to switch back into their regular bodies again. Their wish is granted this time too, and life goes back to normal. Tim has to clean up the mess Sally made at the firm, and she apologizes to all their friends. They blame everything on the fact that Sally is pregnant.
When everything seems to be just fine and dandy again, Mr. Ram explains that he made a mistake when changing them back into their ordinary bodies, and as it now happens, Tim is the one who is pregnant.

Review:
Just a mediocre crime film..
"I can't believe you.
You haven't seen or heard from this guy in ages,and he calls out of the blue and you're off to his rescue?"Perry's (Waylon Payne) wife sounds surprised when he stops his nightly activities with her in bed to help his friend Billy (George Katt).
I was also as much surprised about some developments in this crime-con indie movie.
The story didn't impress me.
However, the performances of both the leading actors was of such high level, they deserve a new collaboration in another film with a better and well-thought-out script.
Here the story was so weak and predictable that even their acting performance couldn't tip the scales to the positive side.Perry and Billy are old schoolmates and haven't seen each other for 15 years.
Both have taken a completely different direction in their lives.
Perry ended up as a (seemingly) happy married family man who earns his living as an optician.
Billy on the other hand has chosen a criminal and dissolute life.
No steady job and no place where he settled.
As the story goes on, you can conclude that a nightlife full of liquor, drugs and women is his territory.
And then there's that particular night.
He's standing in front of a lake and tries to commit suicide.
It might be that he stumbled across a stone while watching the two nighttime fishermen.
Who knows.And yet, Perry leaves in the middle of the night, to help his long forgotten friend.
So maybe Perry wasn't happily married.
Or he's suffering from insomnia.
Or did he just want to take a step in the unknown.
After an awkward, hesitant conversation in a road restaurant and an argument with a couple of youngsters, Billy can convince Perry (in an easy way just by making him feel guilty about the situation) to have another drink in a local strip club.
And before they know it, the night ends in a shabby motel, accompanied by two busty, handsome strippers.The movie isn't really bad.
Although the budget wasn't so big, the made images generally look really professional.
The interaction between Wayne and Katt is magnificent and at times extremely enjoyable.
And you have to admit that the strippers Sherri (Rosebud Baker) and Candy (Sayra Player) are pleasant to look at.
Particularly Rosebud Baker.
With her charming and lovely smile she can melt any guy's heart effortlessly.
But still there are some facts that really amazed me.Billy drank a lot of alcohol and took a lot of sleeping pills at the beginning of the film.
So it's likely that's the reason why he ended up in the water.
But what a surprise.
After a while you see him acting as if nothing happened.
Astonishing.
Also Perry's behavior is kind of strange.
According to him, his drink at the club was spiked.
However, when burying his face in between Sherri's Big 'Uns, I guess his condition miraculously got better.
And the way he's being hustled in the end although he's an intelligent, realistic man, was rather laughable.
And finally, I thought that the scenes in the strip club and the motel were a bit too monotonous.Anyway, if someone would call me in the middle of the night, who I haven't seen for over 15 years, asking for help, I would hang up after shouting "wrong number".
And when you're planning on watching this mediocre crime film, I recommend you not to watch the trailer.
To be honest, the trailer is the complete movie in a nutshell!More reviews here : http://bit.ly/2qtGQoc. Fascinating, thought provoking gem of an indie.
I'm not sure what the last reviewer expected, but this movie was flat out perfect on all levels.
First off, the photography was beautiful, like the reviews I read, it looks like a million dollar budget.
The two leads are awesome.
I remember seeing Waylon Payne as Jerry Lee Lewis in WALK THE LINE, and George Katt is an actor you can't take your eyes off.
Also the female leads are terrific.
It's what I would call a slow burn - film noir.
You don't see what's coming, and every plot device is lined up neatly - like a puzzle.
Credit that to writer/ director- E.B. Hughes.
This guy is one to watch for.
I don't know about you, but I've scoured Netflix and Amazon late at night, and I'm drawn to indies, and I'm always let down.
This movie will not let you down- not in the least.
It keeps you guessing, and keeps you coming back for more.
AND YES- Peter Greene is great and creepy as hell.
Beautiful indie.
What an absolute gem of a movie.
Reminds me of the old school slow burn style film noir.
Beautifully shot, beautifully directed, and paced perfectly.
I was lucky enough to see it at a film festival in New York, and no-one saw the ending in sight.
Waylon Payne plays Perry, and his performance should get an Indie Spirit award- he was amazing, as is NY actor George Katt.
Everyone in this film does their job, and director E.B. Hughes is a force to be reckoned with.
The locations are great, the writing exquisite, the photography is amazing.
The tones and hues fit the film perfectly, and I love the fact that there is no soundtrack.
It adds to the realism of the story.
I can't wait for his next film.
Movies like this don't come around often..
Big Gulp Fiction.
A glorified student film that looks new and crispy but seems to want that old school celluloid grain instead, and is also begging to be taken seriously i.e. as a serious crime neo noir thriller of some kind...But the two leading actors lack what's in the eyes of this labor-of-love's intense and genuine-acting ringer, Peter Greene (Zed from Pulp Fiction)...
Had he starred with, say, someone else who really looked like they've been through more than through-the-motion rehearsals, then...This might pass for an actual theatrical-style experience as opposed to something someone pulled-off on a dime or two, which the director should be given some credit for...
But credit ain't dues, and no real dues are being paid here for the characters, or the audience...
What you wind up watching is a project, not a vehicle....
Extremely average.
Unfortunately, not much left in the movie once you've watched the trailer.
A slow mover which lures the viewer in on the pretence of a big reveal.
But there isn't one.
The unveiling is exactly as you might predict if you've seen any of the great thrillers or dramas.
If, like me, you're pulled in by the presence of Peter Greene, I'd suggest you don't waste your time.
He plays a great role (albeit one he's played many times before), but doesn't get much screen time.
On the whole, the acting was OK (which is why I've rated it a generous 4), but the story could have been much better.
The writer/director has potential; this is certainly not his masterpiece.
