The Tall Guy (1989)
Country: GB
Technical: col 92m
Director: Mel Smith
Cast: Jeff Goldblum, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson
Synopsis:
An American actor in London falls for a nurse who gives him his hay fever shots, and gets the leading role in a new RSC musical of "The Elephant Man".
Review:
Virtually plotless (essentially Boy meets Girl, etc.) foray into the more bizarre aspects of 80s Britain, its review-like throw-away style giving rise to a number of savourable sequences, including a flat-wrecking love-making scene and a send-up of "Elephant"'s many real-life cousins.
