Show Notes
We deep-dive into The Tall Guy. This wonderful film with Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson is a riotous ride out of the ‘80s into a new era. A UK movie filmed during the actor’s strike in the US, this film celebrates the silliness of 80’s romance comedy films – before the dreaded word RomCom came out – brilliantly, and heralds in a new era that would lead to Love Actually, Notting Hill, and more. Another festival of lessons on a simple, fun story, but more importantly it has classic examples of how to bring background characters to life, even if only with a single line.
The Tall Guy is hard to find. It is not offered on any streaming/digital service that we can find. Physical DVDs have only been round on Ebay for extraordinarily high prices.
