Reception
The Calgary Herald wrote, "Find the Lady is a numbskull number about as funny as a slice of pizza in a hat... A British-Canadian co-production, Find the Lady stumbles from one worn-out comedy chestnut to another. There is the off-key opera singer, the transvestite who complains that life is a 'drag', lots of dumb blonds, and even dumber cops."[2]
