It was written by [[Terrence McNally]], who adapted it from his play ''[[Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune]]''. The film starred [[Michelle Pfeiffer]] as Frankie and [[Al Pacino]] as Johnny. Some of the critical reaction to the film involved the attractiveness of the Hollywood leads, which contradicted the nature of the play being about two rather plain protagonists. |

Frankie and Johnny is a 1991 American motion picture.
Terrence McNally's screenplay was adapted from his 1987 off-Broadway play Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune, although it differed dramatically from the original, which had only two characters and was set in Frankie's apartment. The film version added several characters and different locations, but its most notable difference was in the casting of Michelle Pfeiffer (who was nominated for a Golden Globe Award) and Al Pacino in the lead roles, originally two people with average appearances. Its basic premise remained the same: Johnny is convinced he has found his soul mate in Frankie, while she is far less certain they have a future together.
The cast, directed by Garry Marshall, also included Nathan Lane, Hector Elizondo, and Kate Nelligan, whose performance won awards from both BAFTA and the National Board of Review.
