Big (1988 Penny Marshall)

Well it did not seem like almost ten years ago we last watched it. It was written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg (Steven's sister).

The famous duet on the giant piano looks like it was done for real - certainly they are hitting all the right notes. Robert Loggia looks fitter than Hanks. 

Woody's production designer Santo Loquasto designed it, leading to several cries of 'Oh how very Loquasto!' Barry Malkin is the editor, Barry Sonnenfeld the DP.

I was interested to learn that Penny shot Hanks' scenes first with his younger self David Moscow so Hanks could see how he behaved.
