A Fine Mess is a 1986 film by Blake Edwards.
The film was intended as a remake of Laurel & Hardy's classic short "The Music Box" and was to be semi-improvised in the same style as the director's earlier comedy, The Party, but studio interference, poor previews and subsequent re-editing resulted in the film becoming a fully-scripted chase comedy with very little of the original ideas for the film remaining intact. For this reason, it received overwhelmingly negative reviews and was a box-office failure.
