Up, Close & Personal
1996
***
Director: Jon Avnet
Cast: Robert Redford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Stockard Channing, Joe Mantegna
A likeable romantic drama about the professional and personal relationship between an aspiring news reporter and her boss. Ironically the unlikely romance between the two is more believable than her climb in the media world. The ending seems contrived, not to mention similar to that in Out of Africa, another Redford film. Marginally based on Alanna Nash's book Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch.
