391.0. "The Pickle" by 12368::michaud (Jeff Michaud, PATHWORKS for Windows NT) Tue Nov 30 1993 22:11

	This one stars Danny Aeillo as a older director who has had a
	recent run flops.  So he agrees to direct a movie geared for
	teen agers.  The film (inside the film) is about farm kids who
	grow VERY large cucumbers and they fly inside of one as a spaceship
	to another planet (the film inside the film is also called
	"The Pickle").

	Shelly Winters plays his mother, Dyan Cannon plays one of his
	ex-wifes.

	The film jumps around between present day, flash backs to
	his childhood, flash backs to the events leading up to the
	making of the "film inside the film", and to clips of the
	film inside the film.

	The film was mildly interesting and almost put me to sleep
	a couple of times.  The best parts were by Ally Sheedy who
	played one of the characters in the film inside the film.
