1991
****
Director: Garry Marshall
Cast: Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kate Nelligan, Hector Elizondo

Frankie is a waitress and Johnny is an ex-con who now flips burgers. This funny and sharp working class comedy tells the story of their romance. The cast is impressive, and especially Kate Nelligan and Al Pacino give warm performances. Terrence McNally adapted his own play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.
