Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles Alternately touching and wildly comic, this film follows the tribulations of a Matt Hobbs (Nick Nolte), a struggling actor who is suddenly forced to care for his precocious 6 year old daughter Jeannie, while at the same time trying to move his career forward and have a romance on the side. Though she's precocious and talented, Jeannie can be a difficult, especially now that her acting career is starting to take off. But in the interim, Matt and Jeannie have to re-build their relationship, since they both have a lot of growing up to do. Color by Technicolor.
Approximate budget: $40 million.
"I'll Do Anything" went through many revisions before its release. Originally meant to be a musical, with singing and dancing done by the undubbed Nolte, Albert Brooks and Julie Kavner, the producers discovered that the story did not work for audiences in that form; they went back and recut it, making it a fairly straight dramatic film. It was successful in that format, and Brooks decided to try to add a few more songs again. But it became clear that audiences did not want that, so finally the film was released without only one song intact.
Some of the songwriters who contributed work that never made it to the finished product were Prince, Sinead O'Connor and Carole King; Twyla Tharp did the choreography.
Copyright 1994 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. I'll Do Anything Reviews: "...A sharply observed satire..."-- Tom Russo, Premiere "...[A] droll, improbably buoyant near-musical....Wonderfully satirical ingredients..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...A juicy role for Nolte..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Brooks' Burke provides a terrific howl, and Richardson is extremely appealing..."

Another May-December romantic comedy from Wilder starring Audrey Hepburn, this one pairs her with Gary Cooper in the City of Lights. Ariane Chavasse (Hepburn) is the daughter of a private detective (Maurice Chevalier), who has been hired by Mr. X, (John McGiver), a suspicious husband, to find out who his wife (Lise Bourdin) is seeing on the side. When he discovers the woman in the grip of millionaire playboy Frank Flannagan (Gary Cooper), he informs the predictably livid husband who loudly announces his intention to kill the interloper while Ariane is eavesdropping.

| | Patty Loveless When Fallen Angels Fly CD (1994)
I'll Do Anything film
 $6.05
How does an artist follow up not only the best album of their career but probably the best country album of the year? That was Patty Loveless' dilemma after her 1993 gold album, ONLY WHAT I FEEL. Fortunately, Loveless sets all minds to rest with the spectacular WHEN FALLEN ANGELS FLY.
Patty Loveless is one of country music's strongest vocalists, a favorite duet/harmony partner of many country artists, especially super-vocalist Vince Gill. Her voice is the mournful call of the hills of Kentucky, powerful and proud, yet expressive and vulnerable. She brings a spiritual and graceful depth to her material, especially the ballads, her forte. From the wrenching "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" to the hushed "Over My Shoulder" Loveless offers pristine classics, and once again hits her artistic zenith. Then she switches gears and has fun with the novelty hit "I Think About Elvis" and rocks out with the Rolling Stones-ish "Old Weakness (Coming On Strong)." Her songs are varied, but always mature and haunting.
Patty Loveless is a stylist in the classic sense, an interpreter extraordinaire. Her song selection is impeccable, her production crisp and reverent. She is the ...

One of the major family sitcoms of the late 1980s/early 1990s was the popular and acclaimed ROSEANNE. Although the antics of its main star, Roseanne Barr (later Roseanne Arnold), and some poor writing eclipsed the show in its later years, the FIRST SEASON remains a model of quality television. The show was about the life of a working-class family in Illinois, the Conners, who are more like a regular family than television personalities. ...
