Sit down with this movie, and I promise you, from the first shot of the Greyhound accompanied by Terence Trent D'Arby's wonderful title track, you'll never want it to end.Johnny on his release from his jail joins the restaurant where Frankie works.
Remember, the elephant must face the window and a VCR will never be a substitute for love. This is an absolute must see for all you dreamers out there, and if you ever come across the play, you probably should check that out as well.
Both Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino make outstanding performances and the on screen chemistry between the two is perfect.
You can tell the movie is based on a play, primarily because of the special atmosphere created by the careful progression of the story, scene by scene, not to mention the wonderful and individual characters we get acquainted with. The simple but genuine approach to these important themes makes the story stand out and makes you want to believe, because deep inside you already do. Set in New York, the movie deals with loneliness, different ways of coping or letting go, it deals with love, the yearning for it and also the fear of it, this magical feeling you almost don't dare hope for. The second time around, I was already in love, watching it with my love who also fell in love and now we're all in love. The first time I saw this movie, I fell in love.
