Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe line Bucky Terranova (Joe Mantegna) used when he first meets Tally Atwater (Michelle Pfeiffer) - "Your voice is full of money" - was from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby". In The Great Gatsby (1974), Robert Redford played the title role.
- GoofsTally is supposedly in the prison with one camera, yet shots beamed live from her include shots of her camera crew holding a camera. In addition we see cutting of shots between Tally and Fernando as if there were two cameras there.
- Quotes
Tally Atwater: Do you want to be with me?
Warren Justice: So much it hurts.
Featured review
It has been a long time since a film has made me cry. I can't remember crying like this since Beaches and Steel Magnolias years ago. To be honest the movie seemed a little boring and overacted to start with - Pfeiffer was very much as she had been in Dangerous Minds, controversial and unique (not that that is a bad thing, just repetitive). However, once you move past the 'a star is born' bit, the developing relationship between Warren Justice (Redford) and Tally Attwater is a beautiful and believable one. It is also interesting to get a look at how the TV news may operate behind-the-scenes.
Unlike so many star couplets today, Redford and Pfeiffer have true on-screen chemistry and are at their best in this film.
