Title (Semi-spoiler?) Message-ID: <735@houxz.UUCP> Date: Thu, 12-Apr-84 08:53:28 EST Article-I.D.: houxz.735 Posted: Thu Apr 12 08:53:28 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 13-Apr-84 08:27:21 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 16 I did not see Danny DeVito on Carson, but although I was intrigued by the "polishing" explanation for the title "Romancing the Stone", I got a different impression from viewing the movie. Near the end, DeVito claims that, although he is a thief, he is at least HONEST (sic) about it. He accuses Michael Douglas of being a con man, and of "romancing the stone away from her [Kathleen Turner]", by convincing her that she/they need it. But after the rather inspired explanation by Gary Murakami, I'm not so sure. Probably we'll never know. SJBerry
