It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is a 1975 Canadian comedy film.

It was one of John Candy's earlier films before he came to the attention of the mainstream.

He plays the minor role of an investigating police officer.

However, for marketing/publicity reasons, Candy appears on the cover of the DVD release.

Sweeney (Anthony Newley) is a playwright on a career decline.

He spends much of his time wheedling money and beer out of his artistic friend Moriarty (Isaac Hayes).

One of his few highlights is weekly sex with his ex-wife Georgina (Stefanie Powers).

She is remarried to a rich but vile construction developer (Henry Ramer), but Sweeney and Georgina are still in love.Sweeney's escapades end with a fake kidnapping scam.

This gets the attention of two inept police officers, played by John Candy and Lawrence Dane.(Wiki) Welcome to Bobs Time Travel TV.
