Regarding Henry (1991 Mike Nichols)

I'd suggested this as the double bill to Working Girl without even thinking (a) Mike Nichols (b) Harrison Ford. Love the moment he is shot, and says 'Wait' - it seems very real. JJ Abrams' screenplay is great, and he has a cameo as a delivery boy. What?? He was 25. Ford's best performance. Photographed by Giuseppe Rotunno.

Nichols directs all the actors well. With Annette Bening, Donald Moffat, Elizabeth Wilson, Bruce Altman, Bill Nunn, Mikki Allen, Rebecca Miller.

"I can read!"

Warning: this film contains offensive eggs.
