Description


This movie is a romantic comedy starring John Belushi and Blair Brown. It was a notable departure for Belushi, who was primarily known for raucous, high-energy comedies like Animal House and The Blues Brothers. In this film, he plays a more understated, romantic lead.
Key Movie Details
Plot: The story follows Ernie Souchak (Belushi), a hard-nosed Chicago newspaper columnist who is sent to the Rocky Mountains to hide out after his reporting gets him into trouble with a local politician. While there, he meets Nell Porter (Brown), a reclusive wildlife biologist studying bald eagles. Despite their "continental divide" of personalities and lifestyles, they eventually fall in love.
Production: The film was written by Lawrence Kasdan (who wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Empire Strikes Back) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
Legacy: It was one of the last films released during John Belushi's lifetime before his death in 1982.
