Trenchcoat

Trenchcoat is a live-action film produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1983 and starring Margot Kidder as court stenographer Mickey Raymond. Widely regarded as the film that led to the launch of Touchstone Pictures, the adult themes of Trenchcoat gave Disney execs pause.

Plot
The aspiring mystery writer Mickey Raymond (Margot Kidder) travels to Malta to research her first novel and falls in love with a handsome, mysterious American (Robert Hays). She is drawn into a conspiracy both fuelled by her vivid imagination and real-world drama. David Suchet plays a local police official who seemingly is one step behind events. Raymond's odd luck leads her to become embroiled in an international plutonium smuggling ring and comedic chaos ensues
