How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A screwball comedy where an oblivious American tourist stumbles into an actual international spy plot and interprets it as an elaborate street theater performance. It's a breezy, farcical ride that milks comedy from the gap between what's really happening and what the protagonist thinks is happening.
