Here are several things you'll learn from watching this incredibly dated 'comedy': 1)Gay men are effeminate and love to wear drag, 2)Asian people are inscrutable, super intelligent, and are accompanied by 'Oriental' musical motifs wherever they go; 3)Afro-Caribbean men are especially hilarious when referred to as 'schwarzers' and wear white face; 4)Italian men are all named Mario and Luigi and work in pizza parlours - additionally, they are extremely emotional and speak with their hands. Here's the most important lesson taught by Find the Lady: it's not a very funny movie. In fact, I barely cracked a smile during the film, despite the presence of such note-worthies as Mickey Rooney, Peter Cook, and John Candy. Oh, and Delroy Lindo as Sam, the poor schlep forced to 'white up'. All in all, a very typical example of seventies Canadian cinema.
