Muppets in London on a retro musical robbery-romp!  The hot air balloon sequence at the beginning of this 1981 Muppet flick was, naturally, shot in Albuquerque!

Stop the presses!  The crime of the century has occurred, and investigative reporters Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo are out to crack the case in this song-filled, star-studded extravaganza directed by the legendary Jim Henson.  Our heroes arrive in London to interview Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg), a high-fashion designer whose priceless diamond necklace has just been stolen.  But when Kermit mistakes lovely receptionist/would-be model Miss Piggy for her aristocratic employer, it’s love at first sight.
Unfortunately, Lady Holiday’s scheming brother (Charles Grodin) is also wooing the sultry swine — so he can frame her for another brazen jewel heist!  Now it’s up to Kermit and his Muppet pals to clear Piggy’s name and catch the real culprits.  Packed with music, remarkable production numbers, and hilarious cameo performances (including John Cleese, Peter Falk, Jack Warden, Robert Morley, and Peter Ustinov)!
