In order to distract the shopping mall crowd from the robbery, Elaine (Jane Curtin) starts to strip on stage.
How to Beat the High Cost of Living (1980 Comdy Film)
Cast: Dabney Coleman, Jane Curtin, Cathryn Damon, Jessica Lange, Susan Saint James
Director: Robert Scheerer
Producers: Samuel Z. Arkoff, Robert Kaufman, Robin Krause, Jerome M. Zeitman
Screenwriters: Robert Kaufman, Leonora Thuna
Jane Curtin and Susan Saint James share star-billing with Jessica Lange in this uninspired comedy about three women who need a cash infusion. (Curtin and Saint James would later co-star in the popular sitcom Kate and Allie.) Jane (Saint James) is divorced and financially pressed to raise her children in the manner to which they were accustomed. Elaine's (Curtin) husband left with all their assets except for the house and car, and Louise's (Lange) antique store is going to go bust unless she gets rid of the red ink. After the three women share their angst, they hit on a scheme of robbing cash from the local shopping mall, a place they know quite well. That familiarity, it turns out, cannot guarantee success.
