Now, the story stands on its own, especially thanks to Streep's strong performance & the excellent Carly Simon music (especially the "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" tie-in). The last 15 minutes or so - really great stuff. The 'key lime pie in the face' scene continues to be a perfect cinematic moment.
But here are three new reasons to watch -
- "Hey, it's Kevin Spacey!" What a surprise to see him in what had to have been one of his first screen roles.
- Eastern Airlines shots. That brings back a lot of memories for anyone who took the Shuttle on a regular basis.
- Processing Meryl Streep's credit card *on the plane* with a old card imprinter. Wow! How times have changed.
