during its theatrical run because I liked Candy despite the abysmal nature of his solo vehicles but also because I had a huge crush on Annie Potts and found the promise of her playing an over-sexed cartoon femme fatale irresistible.
52: Jimmy Sturr & His Orchestra, “No Beer in Heaven”, The Top 40 of the Top 40 of the 1980s: 10-1, Polka Monday, Vol. Released: February 3, 1989 Starring: John Candy, Shawnee Smith, Jeffrey Jones, Annie Potts, Tim Thomerson, Barry Corbin I have a hard time saying anything bad about John Candy.
In Who’s Harry Crumb, Eliot Draisen, a sniveling schemer played by Jeffrey Jones at his Jeffrey Jonesiest hires Crumb to investigative the kidnapping of Jennifer Downing (Renée Coleman), a model and the daughter of wealthy fishing enthusiast P.J Downing (Barry Corbin) and stepdaughter of Helen Downing (Annie Potts), a gold-digger, femme fatale and nymphomaniac who plotted the kidnapping with Eliot and her dim-witted tennis pro lover Vince Barnes (Tim Thomerson). But that last part’s excusable because they do it while “Holding Out for a Hero” is heard in the background, and we all now anything is possible when that song is playing.
Early in the film, for example, Eliot Draisen mentions that a pterodactyl egg in his office is ninety million years old, and one of only two in the world, and consequently worth a small fortune. Downing (Annie Potts, whom I also had a little crush on at some point in the 1990s, during my “I like the way she talks” phase of celebrity infatuation) plan to make their getaway, only to be foiled by Mrs. Downing’s assumed-to-be-dim-witted boyfriend Vince (Tim Thomerson). Trivia To that end, the Happy Place is a labor of love, an oasis of purity in an often compromised pop culture realm. Well, something ensued.
Obviously it would be different if there were black sketch performers who could play different characters and impersonate real people but the fact that Michaels had Billy Crystal, Jimmy Fallon and Fred Armisen play Sammy Davis Jr., Chris Rock and Barack Obama respectively indicates otherwise. And when he’s in the presence of our hapless hero he’s all barely controlled rage; Harry’s mere existence renders him apoplectic.
That might seem egregiously racist as well as desperately and painfully unfunny, even before Candy’s fellow SCTV alum Joe Flaherty (whose brother Paul directed) pops up in a particularly undignified cameo as a sports-loving security guard to call the fake immigrant in his midst first “Tonto” and then “Sabu.”. And that’s where “Who’s Harry Crumb?” comes in. Potts, best known as the quirky receptionist in Ghostbusters and one of the Designing Women of Designing Women is incredibly sexy in a series of tight outfits and sexy lingerie. She winds up becoming Crumb’s assistant as he attempts to solve the kidnapping, and she does an admirable job throughout. Sadly, none of these scenes appear to be on YouTube (well, there’s this, but it’s brief), so you’ll just have to take my word for it. But you’d be hard-pressed to put it at the top of the Candy oeuvre. Who's Harry Crumb? The show featured many cameos from actual National Wrestling Alliance wrestlers.
