Posted: 4/9/08 at 10:28amMM, I am SO ashamed of you! It is NOT an awful movie! It's wonderful, with one of the best soundtracks ever. And Nicolas Cage--still in his teens with an amazing body and unfixed teeth--has never been sexier.

It is somewhat fun, but I meant awful as in production values. The film is REALLY low-budget almost to the point of appearing unfinished.
And Nicolas Cage--still in his teens with an amazing body and unfixed teeth--has never been sexier.
Which isn't saying much, really. That and Moonstruck are about as close to "sexy" he ever got, which was still a rather considerable distance. Let's put it this way...if Cage waved, "sexy" might be able to make him out...if it squints. And his voice with the perpetual cold in his nose doesn't help much either.

I concur with Borstal.
I think the fact that it's not as polished as other 80s movies makes it feel more direct and real.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

And I love Frederic Forrest and Colleen Camp as Julie's parents.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 4/9/08 at 4:14pmI have to rewatch this movie. I saw it while I still lived in Costa Rica and did not get the movie at all.
