The Squeeze is a 1987 American action comedy film directed by Roger Young and starring Michael Keaton and Rae Dawn Chong.

[2] After retrieving a mysterious parcel for his ex-wife, eccentric down-on-his-luck artist Harry Berg (Michael Keaton) enlists the help of private eye Rachel Dobs (Rae Dawn Chong) when he suddenly becomes embroiled with thugs and a murder investigation.

The combination of Harry's many comic eccentricities and Rachel's straight-and-narrow, naive personality ends up working in their favor to help solve the crime.

[4] It is most notable for an accident that took place during filming, in which a stunt man was killed driving a car into the Hudson River.

Film historian Leonard Maltin called it "Dreadful...almost completely devoid of laughs or suspense."
