It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time Movie Review 1975

Newley is an artist whose gold-digging wife leaves him for a dim rich guy. Of course he embarks on a covoluted scheme to get her back. Canadian producton wastes a decent cast and premise with undervelped writing. Candy's feature premiere, which got him a sequel, "Find the Lady."
