	RTE.ie Entertainment - Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
		The plays begins with Frankie and Johnny on their first date, literally stripped bare, a somewhat bizarre precursor to other revelations in the text.
		Frankie, as well as being a waitress is also a failed actress.
		Johnny, who likes to see himself as an honours graduate from the university of life, is quick witted and oozes confidence.

		Frankie's eyes glisten as she realizes the depth of feeling she has somehow evoked from this man, who is still a relative stranger to her.
		When Johnny refuses to leave Frankie's apartment after their initial tryst, we are led to believe that he may be one of those weirdos who can't stop talking about themselves, and who are appropriate for placement in the mental health system.
		Frankie and Johnny together have possibilities, and as we file out of the theater we are truly rooting for them to have a future.

	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.

		Frankie and Johnny are characters with complex emotions that Pfeiffer and Pacino are both successful in conveying with honesty and sincerity.

		When he's sitting in Frankie's bed, wearing her sunglasses, just the edge of the sheet giving him a touch of post-coital modesty, Hoffman's Johnny gives off a cuddly, nonthreatening vibe, naked though he may be.
		Frankie is understandably frustrated at not being able to reclaim her own place, a one-room apartment in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen (the Spartan late-'80s space designed by Tim Connelly) from this incipient stalker.
		Frankie is a waitress and Johnny a short-order cook at a blue-plate restaurant, and the two have had their eyes on each other for a while at work.

	John Podhoretz on Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune on National Review Online
		In fact, McNally was presenting Johnny as the precise alternative to the billiard-ball erotic life of New York in the 1970s and early 1980s.
		Johnny's response — that love is as much a choice as it is a matter of chemistry — is heartfelt and even profound.
		Frankie's got nothing of interest to say because she comes from a time and place that have already thankfully receded into the mists.

		Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts (or lovers) in the folk song made famous by Johnny Cash and translated into a film starring Elvis Presley.
		The original 1987 off-Broadway pairing was Kathy Bates (for whom the part of Frankie was reputedly written) and F.Murray Abraham.
		Johnny already desires a life together half-way through a one-night stand, while his lady would be happy for occasional, great sex and nothing more.

	Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune: review on TheaterMania.com
		Johnny, played by Stanley Tucci with verve in the revival that Joe Mantello has directed with matching verve, is the desperate one here.
		Although Johnny insists he's in love with every aspect of Frankie's body, he also admits during a phone call to a classical music deejay that neither he or she are perfect specimens.
		Both Johnny and Frankie eventually confide the sadder episodes that have led them to the lovelorn situations in which they find themselves, but the revealed histories are cursory; they give the impression that McNally felt he'd better include them, but minimally.

	DC Theatre Reviews » Frankie and Johnny Were Lovers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		"Frankie and Johnny were lovers," so goes the familiar ballad, and so goes the play by Terrence McNally where a short order cook and waitress connect for an overnight romp of intimacy, exploration, and discovery.
		His Johnny claims the bed and makes it his, thrashing around in it, lovingly making it up, rolling around on it and even taking a cannonball diving leap into it.
		Despite Johnny’s wild protestations of love at the very start, we know that theirs will not be a giggling romp into romantic bliss, not with the gritty reality of their connection vérité.

	Show - Frankie & Johnny in the Claire De Lune
		The setting is a walk-up apartment on Manhattan’s West Side where, as the curtain rises, Frankie (a waitress) and Johnny (a short-order cook who works in the same restaurant) are discovered in bed.
		It is their first encounter, after having met several weeks ago on the job, and Frankie is hopeful that Johnny will now put on his clothes and depart, so she can return to her usual routine of watching TV and eating ice cream.
		He is convinced that he loves Frankie, a notion that she, at first, considers to be ridiculous.

	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.

	Talkin' Broadway Review: Frankie and Johnny In The Clair De Lune
		Frankie (Falco) is a waiter and failed actress, while Johnny (Tucci) is the cook who works with her.
		It strains credibility, almost to the breaking point, that Falco's Frankie is uneducated or common, incapable of understanding all of the words that pepper Johnny's vocabulary, and Tucci, so slick and controlled, is equally difficult to believe as a divorced ex-convict with a difficult past of his own.
		Frankie seems to want little more from Johnny than a one-night stand, and Johnny spends almost the entire act attempting to convince her they can have more than that.

		Frankie and Johnny is a sweet, agreeable film, and while it has undoubtedly alienated more than a few viewers with its softhearted, talky approach, it remains a safe bet for a couple hours worth of quality entertainment.
		This 1991 movie is about Frankie, a woman who has given up on love after being hurt and abused by previous partners, and Johnny, her new co-worker who is out to rebuild his life and has fallen in love with her.
		Frankie has barricaded herself emotionally and would rather watch a movie by herself with a pizza than venture into the realm of dating.

		Staged by Associate Artistic Director Jeremy B. Cohen against the strains of Debussy's rapturous "Clair de Lune", Terrence McNally's comedy is a sexy and touching pas de deux.

		Frankie is a bit of a loner, but Johnny is determined their romance will blossom.
		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.
		Johnny decides that Frankie is the one he needs and it's destiny that has put them together like this.

		NEW YORK — Fate has not been kind to the lonely, middle-aged New Yorkers in Terrence McNally's 1987 play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, but time has been even crueler to their story.
		In its new Broadway revival, which opened Thursday at the Belasco Theatre, Frankie and Johnny seems as dated and cloying as an old episode of thirtysomething, only with less imaginative dialogue.
		McNally choreographed the tense mating dance between forlorn waitress Frankie and Johnny, the short-order cook intent on turning her life around, with a heavy hand and an irritating fondness for touchy-feely clichés.
