Find the Lady is a 1976 comedy film directed by John Trent. Though John Candy had small or supporting parts in several previous movies, this was the earliest film in which he had a lead role.
The film is a spin-off of the earlier film It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, which features the Kopek (Candy) and Broom (Lawrence Dane) characters in a subplot.
The cast also includes Ed McNamara, Hugh Webster, Delroy Lindo and Mickey Rooney.
Several kidnapping schemes all involve the same woman, except the wrong woman gets taken and the right one, Victoria, runs away with her boyfriend.
The Calgary Herald wrote, "Find the Lady is a numbskull number about as funny as a slice of pizza in a hat... A British-Canadian co-production, Find the Lady stumbles from one worn-out comedy chestnut to another. There is the off-key opera singer, the transvestite who complains that life is a 'drag', lots of dumb blonds, and even dumber cops."
