 The Bonfire of the Vanities 1990 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.
