See No Evil, Hear No Evil


See No Evil, Hear No Evil is a 1989 American comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller and produced by Marvin Worth for TriStar Pictures. It stars Richard Pryor as a blind man and Gene Wilder as a deaf man who work together to thwart a trio of murderous thieves.

One morning, as Wally waits outside for the days newspapers, a man walks into Daves shop. When the man is approached by a beautiful woman named Eve Joan Severance, he surreptitiously removes a gold coin from a suitcase and places it in a box of coins sitting on the counter. The woman takes the suitcase and shoots the man in the stomach as Dave whose back is turned reads the information on a box of antacid pills. Dave neither sees nor hears the shooting, but he notices Eves legs as she leaves the shop. Wally, who heard the gunshot, walks into the shop and falls over the mans dead body. Dave then rushes to help Wally and picks up the gun, which Eve left at the scene. When the police arrive, they find Dave and Wally huddled over the body with Dave holding the gun. Before they are arrested, Dave tells Wally to collect the coins from the box.At the police station, Dave and Wally are interrogated by Captain Braddock Alan North, an experienced but callous detective who immediately becomes hostile to them and makes them his prime suspects. When Eve and her accomplice Kirgo Kevin Spacey hoping to recover the coin arrive to bail them out by posing as attorneys, Wally recognizes Eves perfume and Dave recognizes her legs, but Braddock ignores them when they insist that she is the killer. Wishing to avoid Eve and Kirgo when they are released, Dave and Wally escape from the police station, but the criminals soon find them. Eve takes the coin from Wallys pocket and telephones her boss Mr. Sutherland Anthony Zerbe for instructions, allowing Dave to learn the criminals plans by reading her lips. When Kirgo tries to kill Dave and Wally, they use the fistfighting method they learned in the bar to knock him unconscious. They then steal an unattended police car, and drive away with Eve, Kirgo and Braddock chasing them. Working together to guide the patrol car, Dave and Wally evade both the police and the criminals, but they accidentally launch the car onto a waterborne garbage barg
