So Fine (1981)

Warner Bros.
Directed by Andrew Bergman
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Ryan O'Neal is an English professor who accidentally discovers see-through jeans. Luckily his father runs a fashion company, so they are marketed and make millions. Meanwhile he starts an affair with the wife of local mobster Richard Kiel, the giant with steel teeth from that James Bond movie. Kiel stomps around and lifts heavy stuff, including cars and pinball machines. The finale takes place during a theater presentation of Shakespeare's Othello. It's not silly enough to be funny, misses every opportunity to mock the fashion industry and suffers from excessive product placement.
