275.0. "Frankie and Johnny" by 42371::ABSOLOMT (Fifty four days and counting) Wed Jul 28 1993 11:49

    
    I caught this movie last night on TV. I thought it was a wonderful
    film. Very warm, very real, and very well acted.
    
    I rate it as a 9/10. 2nd best film I've seen so far this year.
    
    If you haven't seen it, rent it.

275.1another Frankie & JohnnyAKOCOA::LPIERCEprop me up against the jukeWed Aug 11 1993 12:3811
    
    Since you said "this year" I will assume you ment the moive with
    Al Pachino (sp) and Michele Phiffer (sp).  But there is another
    movie titled Frankie & Johnny.  It stars Elvis and Ellie May from
    The Beverly Hillbillies (whats her name?).  Even if your not an
    Elvis fan, this is a very good movie based on the song titled
    Frankie & Johnny .. sorry, I can't remember who wrote and orignally
    sung the song.  But Elvis took the song and turned it into a good
    family and enjoyable movie..

RE: the song

It may be copyrighted by someone, but I'm pretty sure it's actually a folk
song of unknown origin.

I liked the movie.
