Cast: Bronson Pinchot, Gailard Sartain, F. Murray Abraham, Philip Godawa, Susan Danford, Rick Rogers, Josh Cherry, Farouk Valley-Omar, Larry Harmon, Zane Meas

  The nephews of the famous comedy duo are also named Stanley and Oliver (Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain).

Terrible smear of Laurel and Hardy's names, but the imitations aren't bad.

Poster Art From art.comThe Bonfire of the Vanities   1990     2 stars    R, 125 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Brian De Palma  
Cast: Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Kim Cattrall, Saul Rubinek, Morgan Freeman, John Hancock, Kevin Dunn, Clifton James, F. Murray Abraham

  Brian De Palma directed this comedy/drama based on Tom Wolfe's novel. It stars Tom Hanks as a millionaire whose mistress kills a young black man with his car. Comfortable in the sedate world of Wall Street, he finds himself unable to cope with the life of a suspected criminal. Melanie Griffith is good as his self-involved mistress. This is a pretty good depiction of the problems evolving from racism, but overall it doesn't do justice to Wolfe's novel.

  To make this film work you must assume that it really wasn't John Dillinger (Martin Sheen) who was shot outside the Biograph Theater, but rather his brother. Then, it makes sense that when Al Capone (F. Murray Abraham) is released from prison several years later and wants someone to recover the millions he has stashed away in the bank, he would turn to John. Of course Capone holds Dillinger's family hostage to ensure the heist is carried out.

Nostradamus then moves to a remote village where he marries a widow, Anne (Assumpta Serna), with whom he begins a large family. At Scalinger's urging, Nostradamus begins writing and publishes a book of prophecies that includes the forecast of King Henry II's (Anthony Higgins) death. After seeing the book, Queen Catherine de Medici (Amanda Plummer) takes an interest and, later, after the King dies, gives Nostradamus lifelong protection from the Inquisition court, and he continues his prophecies.
