I won't share you with another boy...
Roxanne... Great movie, although I was disappointed that there are no interviews or a Making Of feature. After the fantastic extras on the When Harry Met Sally DVD, I was hoping somebody would get Steve and Co. together and create a behind the scenes documentary for Roxanne. Maybe one day. It deserves it.This classic was filmed almost entirely in Nelson, BC, and was supposed to be Nelson, WA, an hour or so south of its Canadian equivalent. It's hard to pick out some of the locations as the camera angles virtually all compensate for the fact that Nelson (an Aspen-like town in the BC interior) is very hilly. Where the mighty John Kapelos (Chuck) tries his Playmate of the Month routine on the foxy Caroline Barclay, it looks like a level street, but Ward St. is actually on a hill, like most of Nelson.I actually agree with some other reviewers that it's hard to believe that an intelligent and sensitive man like C. D. would fall for a shallow, sarcastic smarty pants like Darryl Hannah's Roxanne, when he obviously had major chemistry with the beautiful, sexy, funny, highly intelligent Dixie, played by the divine Shelley Duvall. Maybe Shelly was just too hot for character.Still, Life doesn't always make sense.This is a truly hilarious movie and Rick (Top Gun) Rossovich excels as Chris, the hunky Pro firefighter. This guy is a very underrated actor, believe me.Fantastic cast, fantastic movie.
