UP CLOSE & PERSONAL opens. Directed by Jon Avnet. Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne's long gestating, hard-edged script based on Alanna Nash's biography of the late NBC News anchor and reporter Jessica Savitch gets focus group dumbed down into a glossy, generic rom-com awkwardly pairing a youthful Michelle Pfieffer with ageing Robert Redford. Co-starring Stockard Channing, Joe Mantegna, Kate Nelligan and Glenn Plummer.
