Tulips is a 1981 Canadian-American comedy-drama film starring Gabe Kaplan and Bernadette Peters.

The director was officially credited as "Stan Ferris", but the film was actually directed by Rex Bromfield, Mark Warren and Al Waxman.

Rutanya is suffering from being rejected by a lover, but is charmingly unconventional and outgoing, the opposite of Leland's introvert.

When Avocado will not agree to calling off the hit, Leland and Rutanya desperately try to obtain guns, etc., to attempt to kill the killer.

In one of the early scenes of their courtship, Leland plays the tuba while Rutanya sings "The Sidewalks of New York".
