Creator Review
Peter O'Toole's best work to date. Ms Hemingway was excellent in this film despite the fact that it was one her first starring roles ('Lipstick' may have been filmed first). This movie will bring happy tears to your eyes... It is an incredible story about a Scientist who wishes to clone his dead wife and his relationship with the woman who volunteers to help him do so. This and 'The Doctor' are classics and must see - must have in your library or collection of art/films. I always recommend buying TWO of the classics so you can share or loan one to others. You WILL want to share it...
Creator Feature
- Dr. Harry Wolper, a lonely biologist, is unable to let go of the memory of his beloved wife who died 25 years earlier during childbirth. Armed with his genius as a biologist/physician, he is intent on mastering the process of creating life. Specifically in the form of his dead wife. All that's standing in his way is the university, the faculty, the laws of nature and about 20 local ordinances!
Creator Overview
Exuding the charm and grace for which he seems to hold the patent, Peter O'Toole plays Doctor Harry Wolper, a renowned research biologist whose pet project is to clone his sorely missed wife, dead now for 30 years. Assisting him in fine fashion are Meli (Mariel Hemingway), a self-proclaimed 19-year-old nymphomaniac bent on capturing the affections of Dr. Wolper, and a research assistant (Vincent Spano), whose love interest is fellow student Virgina Madsen. This sweet and enjoyable romantic comedy is brought to a head when the Madsen character drops suddenly into a coma. Then Wolper's nemesis, played almost lovably by David Ogden Stiers, thwarts his cloning attempts by reclaiming the stolen equipment he's using to do so. While Dr. Wolper preaches the beauty of The Big Picture as a way of apprehending life, this one is decidedly a small picture, but in the sense of being attuned to small details, probably owing to the foreign sensibilities of Czech director Ivan Passer (Cutter's Way). The many disparate plot threads are eventually brought into harmony, though the sheer number of them may seem a jumble to many viewers. Better to let the big picture take care of itself, and content oneself with the many smaller pleasures this delightful film affords. --Jim Gay
