Was it the movie Raising Arizona where they kidnapped the wife of a rich man and instantly regretted it for her witchiness?
Sounds like ‘Ruthless People’. Danny DeVito is the business man. Unsurprisingly, Bette Miller was the ‘witchy’ wife. Very funny movie.
I was thinking “Ransom of Red Chief” myself. I don’t know the one you mention
No! In Raising Arizona it was a baby they kidnapped of a wealthy furniture store owner.
