First viewed : 7 January 1992
The late, great Barry Norman was a superb critic even if you didn't always agree with his verdicts, but as an interviewer he left a lot to be desired and this was the first of two that particularly besmirched his reputation.
Michelle Pfeiffer was in town to talk about Frankie and Johnny, the film in which she was supposed to look a bit dowdy which she " achieved" through not wearing as much make up as usual. According to Norman, delays in the film reaching the UK meant she had lost interest in promoting it and the interview was going a bit flat so he changed tack and started talking about how beautiful she was. Naturally, Pfeiffer perked up a bit when this subject came up and the interview became near-unwatchable as Norman fawned over her. Reportedly, his wife wasn't too chuffed when she saw it.
