	DVD Verdict Review - Frankie And Johnny (1991)
		"Frankie and Johnny" is an old ballad whose original authorship is unknown and whose date of origin is estimated to be sometime in the mid-19th century.
		From time to time in the film, he still turns on the brooding intensity, a characteristic that so often is found in his acting, but on the whole the effect is of a regular guy struggling with the detail of everyday living yet glorying happily in the passion that he has developed for Frankie.
		Her part is a difficult one because we've often encountered her character on film, the woman who's withdrawn herself from the world because of the hurt of past personal disappointments.

	DVD Verdict Review - Frankie And Johnny (1991)
		Johnny soon falls for Frankie and starts to pursue her vigorously, but Frankie's past causes her to erect a shield to protect herself from another potentially hurtful experience.
		In Johnny's case, it's less overt as he manages to hide it with nervous energy and the consuming passion that he gradually develops for Frankie.
		Frankie and Johnny are characters with complex emotions that Pfeiffer and Pacino are both successful in conveying with honesty and sincerity.

	Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog: Picked Flick #45: Frankie & Johnny
		Frankie & Johnny delivers one of the most elusive chimeras in mainstream moviemaking: a romance that has the look, the rhythm, the one-liners, and even the premise of a comedy but is actually not a comedy.
		Frankie & Johnny is so unpretentious that its fine, layered, beautifully coaxed instincts at serving its script and its characters and its audience are easy to overlook.
		I haven't seen 'Frankie and Johnny' since I was 12 years old but you've made me want to go out right now and get it- my love for Michelle knows no bounds so I thank you for putting a little Pfeiffer in my day..

	Frankie & Johnny review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Pacino plays Johnny, an ex-con who is trying to make a new life for himself as a short-order cook in the same greasy spoon where Frankie works.
		All of the performers in "Frankie & Johnny" are so believable in their roles that they seem to inhabit the skins of their characters.
		Johnny's persistence in attracting Frankie borders on harassment, but Pacino gives his character such charm that he is more engaging than annoying.

		When Frankie looks out her window, she can see one couple in the building across the way where the husband and wife never talk to one another and a second couple where the husband punches the wife around.

	Amazon.co.uk: Frankie And Johnny [1991]: DVD: Al Pacino,Michelle Pfeiffer,Hector Elizondo,Nathan Lane,Kate ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The film is okay and not much more than that, the major stumbling block being Marshall's failure to scrub away enough star veneer on Pacino and Pfeiffer to accept them as minimum-wage drones with nowhere to go but toward each other.
		"Frankie and Johnny" doesn't have any allusions of grandeur, it is a simple movie about the lives of a group of New York deli workers; predominantly waitress Frankie (michelle Pfeiffer) and short-order cook Johnny (Al Pacino) both of whom turn in fine performances.
		Frankie (Michelle P) is a waitress with a chip on her shoulder and not looking for romance at all, then Johnny (Al P) comes along and he really goes after her with enthusiasm and persuasion!!

	Movie Info for Frankie and Johnny on MSN Movies
		Terrence McNally's stage play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune was a two-character piece, which starred Kathy Bates and F.
		Garry Marshall's film version of the McNally play streamlines the title to Frankie and Johnny, expands the dramatis personae to include at least a dozen fascinating characters, and "glamorizes" the decidedly unglamorous Frankie and Johnny in the forms of Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino (their first co-starring stint since Scarface).
		As for the stars, Al Pacino is ideally cast as Johnny, but Michelle Pfeiffer, superb though she is, seems a bit ill at ease as the emotionally tattered Frankie; she totally wins the audience's hearts, however, in the film's memorable bowling-alley sequence.

	The New Yorker: Online Only: The Film File (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The movie version of Terrence McNally's 1987 play "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" is a sweet-tempered romantic comedy whose main characters are a New York coffee-shop waitress, Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and a short-order cook, Johnny (Al Pacino).
		He and the director, Garry Marshall, have attempted to place Frankie and Johnny in a variety of settings, to stretch the narrative out over a longer period, to surround the lovers with lots of other people—and to incorporate all this extra material without dissipating the emotional tensions of the main characters' relationship.
		And Pfeiffer is extraordinary; her Frankie is a superbly detailed rendering of a woman with a fanatically conservative heart.

	Frankie and Johnny (1991) - Channel 4 Film review
		Pfeiffer is Frankie, the ostensibly plain, unconfident waitress who resists the advances of new short-order cook Johnny (Pacino).
		Frankie And Johnny directed by Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman) is an amusing if seriously miscast version of writer McNally's 1987 own play 'Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune'.
		Nevertheless if you forgive the casting and allow yourself to be charmed, there is nothing stopping you from passing an enjoyable two hours in the hands of Hollywood at its most mechanical and manipulative.
