IMDb profile
Overboard is a movie starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell that was released in the summer of 1987. It was directed by Garry Marshall.
Goldie Hawn is Joanna Stayton, the pampered wife of a pretentious socialite Grant Stayton III (Edward Herrmann). When their boat gets stuck for repairs, Joanna employs carpenter Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russell) to improve her closet space. But when Dean asks to be paid, he's blatantly turned down by the "nothing is ever good enough for me" Joanna. So when Joanna falls overboard and gets a bad case of amnesia, Dean takes advantage of the situation and, in a stroke of retributive genius, tells her that she's his wife and the mother of his four unruly children.
A Korean drama television series, 환상의 커플, based on this movie was broadcast in 2006.
A Bollywood film running on similar themes and plot was made in 1992 with Salman Khan named Ek Ladka Ek Ladki.
This film is an adaptation of the 1974 classic Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August. Coincidentally the same film was the inspiration of the Madonna and Guy Ritchie 2002 critical and commercial bomb Swept Away.
Swept Away (1974 film)
Swept Away (full English title: Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August, full Italian title: Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto) is a 1974 Italian film written and directed by Lina Wertmüller. It is a study in romance and class warfare.
The movie stars Giancarlo Giannini as the long-abused crewmember Gennarino Carunchio serving on the rented yacht of a wealthy couple Raffaella Pavone Lanzetti (played by Mariangela Melato) and Signor Pavone Lanzetti (played by Riccardo Salvino). Playing the part of a beautiful, wealthy, highly-privileged woman, Raffaella takes endless pleasure in verbally abusing Gennarino over nearly everything, but especially about his Communist politics. When an unusual event at sea leaves Gennarino and Raffaella castaway on an isolated Mediterranean island, the tables are finally turned and the Communist sailor suddenly has the upper hand in the relationship.
Roger Ebert, the American film critic, gave the movie four stars (his highest rating). The movie was remade in 2002 as Swept Away, starring Madonna and directed by Guy Ritchie, but was "swept away" by film critics worldwide; Ebert gave the remake one star.作者:
