Partners
Benson is a cop who wants to clean up the streets...his partner just wants to redecorate.
Directed by James Burrows
Produced by Aaron Russo Productions, Paramount Pictures
A buddy-cop comedy built on the fish-out-of-water premise of two straight cops pretending to be a gay couple while investigating murders, balancing crime-procedural stakes with comedic misunderstandings.
After a series of murders in Los Angeles's gay community, heterosexual police officer Sgt. Benson is assigned to go undercover as half of a gay couple with Officer Kerwin, a Records Clerk
