Hanky Panky

About This Movie

Hanky Panky is an interesting blend of action and comedy, with a dash of crime thrown in for good measure. Sidney Poitier directs with a sharp sense of pacing, keeping the audience engaged as Michael Jordon, played by the charming Gene Wilder, navigates this chaotic world of espionage. The film has a quirky atmosphere, balancing moments of tension with Wilder's comedic flair. The performances are solid, especially Wilder, who brings a mix of naivety and determination to his role. There’s a playful yet suspenseful vibe throughout that keeps you guessing. And let’s not forget the practical effects that add a tangible feel to the action sequences. It's a unique entry into the early 80s cinematic landscape.

Great for fans of 80s action comedies.Interesting directorial choices by Poitier.Not your typical government conspiracy film.
