Frankie & Johnny (1991)

Frankie & Johnny – Directed by: Garry Marshall Written by: Terrance McNally

Pacino lightens it up here to play fresh out of prison Johnny who takes a job as a cook at a small New York diner. Middle aged, he throws himself back into life with gusto, hoping to accumulate some good memories before he dies. Unfortunatley, the woman he would like to start this new life with, Frankie (Pfieffer) is locked within herself, having been through a devastating relationship. Some incredibly sincere and honest talks between two broken souls collecting their pieces...and laughs to boot.

(Directed by Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, Flamingo Kid) and starring Al Pacino, Michelle Pfieffer, Hector Elizondo, and a terrific Nathan Lane.)
