Anecdotes
The first meeting about this film between creators Sherman Hirsh and Les Mahoney was at the Hollywood restaurant, "The Waffle". The waitress who served the two their lunch was actress Hannah Pierce, who eventually got the role of "Shelly Stucks", the barmaid who talks too much. In addition, the final day of shooting was at "The Waffle" so it can be said the movie started and finished there.

Mike Case in: The Big Miss

Greetings from DoWnUnDeR. Unfortunately I must agree with finetunes on this one. It is a second rate, discombobulated mess. Perhaps the class of '21 here has much higher standards than the class of '14 but this is a disjointed, unfunny and ridiculously scripted second rate college production. Written and produced by the star of the show, it's probably a self financed ego run and, no offence Mr. Mahoney, but handsome, romantic lead? Unfortunate but true, you're never gonna cut it in that field my man. Script and cinematography is spasmodic, uneven and character development is non existent. I am still unsure of whom some of the "hotties" are or how they were involved or how, why and where some of the beatings occurred. The dialogue is completely forced and unrealistic. A big disappointment because I saw the reviews and planned my evening around my love of a potentially humorous film noir and this ain't no Maltese Falcon.
