About This Movie

So, 'Based on an Untrue Story' is a quirky little gem from '93 that blends comedy with that bizarre TV movie charm. The premise is pretty wild: Satin Chau, this perfume creator, facing off against anosmia, which totally robs her of her smell just as she's about to launch her big scent, 'Puppy.' It's got this frantic pacing as she scrambles to find help. The performances are solid, with a mix of slapstick and genuine moments that add to the absurdity. There's a unique atmosphere here, almost surreal at times, which makes it stand out in the TV movie landscape of the era. It's like a madcap race against time, with a touch of that 90s whimsy.

Features a unique premise centered around the perfume industry.Reflects the oddball tone of early '90s TV movies.Distinctive blend of comedy and surreal situations.
