Show 12B Thursday, December THE GREEN SHEET 3, 1987 Arrival Of Hughes Film Is Cause For Celebration SEEN SCREEN THE ON DEPT.: good line is well worth repeating and as I have said before, the arrival of a John Hughes film is truly a cause for celebration. Hughes, the prolific writer of such films as Pretty In Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and The Breakfast Club, to name but a few of his hits, has a way of observing and presenting elements of the human condition in a hysterically and touching way. In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, A John Hughes hits the bullseye with everyone who has ever traveled Provo public beyond by conveyance. Steve Martin is Neal Page, a man in the advertising game who wants nothing more than to get out of New York City and home to his family in Chicago in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Leaving a meeting late, he manages to have the only cab in Manhattan taken from under his nose, which is only the first of a long line of funny situations which happen to him. By the time he gets to the airport he discovers that his plane will be delayed a few hours and as he waits to depart he meets Del Griffith (John Candy) who was the one who look his cab. Griffith is a shower curtain ring traveling salesman who believes that the entire world wants to learn from his travel expertise. Page finally boards his plane only to discover that not only is Griffith assigned the seat next to him, but that the plane has been rerouted due to the snow storm in Chicago. Stranded in Witchita with no rooms available, Neal runs into Del. Again and Del offers to share his room with him, which leads to more outrageous scenes. Casting Martin and Candy was sheer brilliance. The comcdic chemistry between these two and John Hughes direction,, make Planes, Trains and Automobiles as poignant as it is funny. It is easily the best comedy around at the moment and one which you should down immediately run theater and see. the to HEARD ON THE STREET DEPARTMENT: Wcll, Demi (she claims it is Moore and pronounced Dem-ee- ) Bruce Willis of Moonlighting fame have finally tied the proverbial knot. As to whether or not this will keep Bruce, the original party animal, home remains to be seen, but let us wish them luck and all that. On the other side of the marital bliss scale we have Madonna divorcing hubby Sean Penn, which I predicted would happen during the Shanghi Surprise fiasco. Well so I missed it by a few months, so sue me. Speaking of the battling Penns, and I was, I caught a taped interview with George Harrison who sunk his money into Shanghi Surprise and he noted that she doesnt have a sense of humor, Scan is too uptight and the whole affair was a pain in the ass.
