Frankie & Johnny is a 1991 American romantic comedy film directed by Garry Marshall. It stars Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer — in their second collaboration after Scarface (1983) — with Nathan Lane, Héctor Elizondo and Kate Nelligan appearing in supporting roles. It is a film adaptation of Terrence McNally's two-person play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. The play in turn gets its name from the old American Murder Ballad "Frankie and Johnny", about a woman named Frankie who shoots and kills her lover, Johnny, after finding him with another woman.Frankie (Pfeiffer), a young woman with a Dark and Troubled Past waitressing at a New York City diner has sworn off relationships. Her only friends seem to be her neighbor, Tim (Lane) and her coworkers at the Apollo Cafe. This changes when recently released ex-convict Johnny (Pacino) gets a job as a short-order cook there. Johnny falls in love with her, but how can he convince her to learn to trust again?Not to be confused with the 1966 film of the same name starring Elvis Presley, or the 1936 film co-starring Lilyan Tashman, or the 1928 play that the latter was based on. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Frankie & Johnny / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Casting Michelle Pfeiffer as Frankie was controversial due to the fact that Frankie, in the original play, was intended to be a somewhat frumpy, self-conscious and plain woman. | |

Dogged Nice Guy: Johnny's behavior may even go a little past this. Showing up at her apartment and bowling night when Frankie specifically asks him not to, changing his shifts after she changes hers to avoid him, and calling her incessantly after she tries to end things with him. | |
