Siskel & Ebert: 9-26-87

Note: As you wish, a new missing episode of "Siskel & Ebert" from Don Gorelick's recordings! It's inconceivable! Also, this might be the first episode that drops the "And The Movies" of the title.

Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert reviews "The Princess Bride" (Rob Reiner's most wonderful satirical fairy tale classic that's so memorable and still enjoyable for all ages! Starring: Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Andre The Giant, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Chris Sarandon, Fred Savage and Peter Falk.); "China Girl" (A "Romeo & Juliet" type Crime Drama between an Italian Boy and a China Girl who are lovers in a gang war between Chinatown and Little Italy in New York. Directed By: Abel Ferrara. Starring: Sari Chang, Richard Panebianco, James Hong, James Russo and David Caruso.); "The Big Town" (Fascinating Movie about a young crapshooter who becomes a gambler against the top boss and falls in love with an exotic dancer who happens to be his wife! Starring: Matt Dillon, Suzy Amis, Diane Lane, Tommy Lee Jones and Don Francks.); "The Pick-Up Artist" (Enjoyable Romantic Comedy from writer/director, James Toback. Starring: Robert Downey Jr. Molly Ringwald, Harvey Keitel and Dennis Hopper. Disagree with both of them!) and "I Heard The Mermaids Singing".

And a recap of Today's program.
