  • It would be a better movie if Gina Davis and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson swapped roles; the answer is yes.
  • Davis, in her second movie and clearly headed for bigger things, is stuck as Fletch's LA Times helper; she played opposite tall leading men like Goldblum in The Fly and would be great opposite Chevy.
  • A future Gina Davis episode could be A League of Their Own.
  • The recasting-couch move is to flip them.
  • Elizabeth Shoe may be too young; the Wheeler-Nicholson fan denies a personal connection and calls her a dynamite lady of the Diane Cannon school who rolls with the punches, which is attributed to her not acting.
