I guess I can make the auction for either movie...winner picks 1---either the man who knew too little or operation stormbreaker...let me know which 1 u want-whoever wins
Can you provide a little synopsis or summary off of the jacket? I quite like Bill Murray, but sometimes.....you know what I mean. What condition is it in?
No Annette, I didn't get any response previous to the one asking. I appreciate your getting to it when you can...I need it to know if I want to bid! Thanks!! Fanned!
Wallace Ritchie (Murray) flies from Des Moines, Iowa to England to spend his birthday with his brother, James (Peter Gallagher), the same evening James is to hold a business dinner. Though James is all too happy to spend time with Wally, his presence threatens to sour the evening, and so James sets Wallace up with an interactive improv theatre business, the "Theatre of Life," which promises to treat the participant as a character in a crime drama. Before the night begins, James hands Wallace a pair of Ambassador cigars, promising to "fire them up" before midnight in celebration of Wally's birthday. Trouble begins when Wallace answers a phone call intended for a hitman at the same payphone that the Theatre of Life uses for its act.

Before the night begins, James hands Wallace a pair of Ambassador cigars, promising to "fire them up" before midnight in celebration of Wally's birthday. Trouble begins when Wallace answers a phone call intended for a hitman at the same payphone that the Theatre of Life uses for its act.
The contact, Sir Roger Daggenhurst (Richard Wilson), mistakes Wallace as a hitman he'd hired named Spencer. Thinking it's part of the act, Wallace uses that identity. The real Spencer (Terry O'Neill) picks up the phone call meant for Wally and murders one of the actors, prompting a search for Wallace. Sir Roger, his assistant Hawkins (Simon Chandler), the British Defense Minister Gilbert Embleton (John Standing), and a Russian intelligence member Sergei (Nicholas Woodeson) plan to detonate an explosive device (disguised as a Matryoshka doll) during a dinner between British and Russian dignitaries, in order to rekindle the Cold War and replace their aging technology. Still believing he's acting with the Theatre of Life even after he is comedically mugged, Wally meets Lori (Joanne Whalley), Embleton's call-girl. Lori plans to blackmail Embleton for a substantial amount of money using letters that detail the assassination plot. Spencer was hired specifically to eliminate her and destroy the letters. Wallace scares off Embleton when he arrives to look for them and drives Spencer off. Fearing their plot will be revealed, Daggenhurst hires two "plumbers", while Sergei hires now-inactive spy Boris "The Butcher" Blavasky (Alfred Molina), all charged with eliminating "Spencer". Boris succeeds in killing the real Spencer, but Wallace and Lori come back, retrieving the letters. When Wallace uses Spencer's communicator during a conversation with Daggenhurst, he tells him that "I know a couple of guys ***** hoping to fire up some big Ambassadors, at 11:59," referring to James' promise. Thinking the words refer to the assassination plot, both sides believe he is an American spy that has caught on to their scheme. After a police chase ends with Daggenhurst convincing the police that Wallace is a spy, Daggenhurst offers Wallace and Lori 3 million British pounds in return for the letters, at the same hotel where the dinner is taking place.
