Tune In Tomorrow
An art-imitates-life-imitates-art carousel, revolving around a radio soap-opera writer (ca. 1951) of such genius that his words emerge from the typewriter fully visualized, with cameo performances by the likes of John Larroquette, Buck Henry, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Gallagher. Real life, in which a callow youth woos an older woman, is no less broadly played than the soap opera, and whatever philosophical point is being made, all this broadness becomes wearyingly unwieldy. The soap writer's arbitrary animosity toward Albanians lightens the load ever so slightly. With Peter Falk, Keanu Reeves, and Barbara Hershey; directed by Jon Amiel. 1990.
