I remember at first thinking this was the stupidest movie but then John Candy... The hallmark of a good actor, to me, is that one moment where they show you the underlying emotion. He played lonely and vulnerable in that film so beautifully. Tragic loss.
Wasn't he in something called I think Only the Lonely with Maureen O'Sullivan and that brat pack girl - can't remember her name. I just loved him in that.
Happiness! Joy! I LOVE this movie!

ReplyDeleteNo, he wasn't a perv, no worries there...He was married with two kids.
My first in-laws had a cottage (not yer average cottages) down the road from him and they said they were a very nice family with no drama.
