IQ (1994 Fred Schepisi)

Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, Walter Matthau, Lou Jacobi, Gene Saks, Joseph Maher, Charles Durning, Stephen Fry, Tony Shaloub


an attractive couple.

L to R: Gene Saks, Joseph Maher, Lou Jacobi, Matthau and Ryan.
A friendly and warm film that is a little thin in the plot department (Einstein encorages mechanic to woo his daughter, who is with the wrong man), though the script does have funny bits (Matthau to Fry: "We're working on attraction at a distance".) It's almost a spin-off of Ball of Fire. Matthau makes a great Einstein.

Andy Breckman came up with the story which was screenwritten by him and Michael Leeson.

Music Jerry Goldsmith
Ph. Ian Baker (Panavision)
