"Blind Date" is a 1987 comedy/romance film directed by Blake Edwards. Starring Kim Basinger and Bruce Willis, the film was originally intended for the recently married Madonna and Sean Penn, but both backed out at the last minute. It was Willis' film debut - his character in the film was deliberately written so as to be different from the character he had played in the TV series "Moonlighting".

Plot

Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) allows his brother, Ted (Phil Hartman) to set him up on a blind date with his wife's cousin, Nadia (Kim Basinger). Nadia is quiet and shy and the two experience some awkwardness with each other. However, as the evening goes on, Nadia begins to drink and behave in a wild manner. To make matters worse, Nadia's jealous ex-boyfriend and stalker, David, (John Larroquette) exacerbates the situation by stalking the couple all night. Walter ends up getting arrested after menacing David with a handgun. (Walter forces David to do the moonwalk before firing at the frightened man's feet.) Nadia posts $10,000 in bail for Walter and agrees to marry David if he will help Walter escape prison time. Walter attempts to stop the wedding. Chaos ensues.
