What happens
It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is a Canadian comedy film, directed by John Trent and released in 1975. One of John Candy's earliest films, he plays the minor role of investigating police officer Kopek. However, for marketing/publicity reasons, Candy appears on the cover of the DVD release. Candy and Lawrence Dane's characters Kopek and Broom eventually spun off their own film, Find the Lady. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
