Marquee Volume 10 Number 4, June 1985
I don’t think I ever saw Prizzi’s Honor. Once again, however, at this distance it’s hard for me to say for sure. I do remember hearing about it though. With those two stars, and directed by John Huston, it was a pretty big deal. I should track it down.
I also recall hearing about Fletch when it came out, but again I’m not sure if I saw it. And it even had a sequel and a 2022 reboot.
I did see Brewster’s Millions. Who can forget the old man (Hume Cronyn) telling his heir (Richard Pryor) what he needs to do or he won’t get diddly? What I didn’t know was that this was actually the seventh (!) film version of a 1906 play of the same name.
I know I missed Perfect. Something to do with aerobics, which was a big thing at the time. It was a bomb. Jamie Lee Curtis was quite a sex symbol at the time though.
