Product: Frankie and Johnny [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
An outstanding love story
&#65279;I am slow to getting around to seeing this film. Surprisingly, this turned out to be one of my favorite movies. One review said that Michelle Pfeiffer was miscast. I totally disagree; she was perfect for the part. I have never been a big fan of hers, but I have now changed my mind. Her facial expressions showing her ambivalence toward Al Pacino were terrific. You could feel what Frankie felt in her embittered yet lonely situation. Her character was totally believable. I can't think of any actress who could play this part better. I thought that Al's character as the persistent ex-con with a heart of gold was slightly less realistic.
