Quick Change

Bill Murray's only directing credit is this 1990 heist comedy, starring him and Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, and Jason Robards. (Justwatch.) Starts with Murray's character robbing a mid-Manhattan bank while dressed as a clown. Turns into a chase .... sort of. Also features Reg E. Cathey, Phil Hartman, Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci, and Kurtwood Smith, plus some grimy on-location bits of late-1980s New York City, a monster truck, a comparison of rental prices, and an assiduous city bus driver. Co-directed by Howard Franklin, who also wrote the screenplay (adapting it from a book).
