...happens, Bonfire was only an ordinarily bad film and an ordinary box- office bomb; Robert Redford's Havana cost as much and earned far less. The reason Bonfire was a goner from the git-go is that it was based on the one '80s novel every media savant had read and, mentally, already filmed. Even a reverent adaptation would have been fitted with an Armani shroud...
...people recently snaked down the block leading to the local Moose lodge in the ranching town of Livingston, about 80 miles north of Yellowstone. Farmers, local ranchers and teenagers were answering a casting call for parts in a movie about fly-fishing, soon to be shot by Robert Redford.

In her one blockbuster of the '80s, Out of Africa, Streep took second billing to Robert Redford. And if industry solons grumble when an Eddie Murphy movie makes only $60 million (Harlem Nights) or $80 million (Another 48 HRS), should they cheer when the Streep- Fisher Postcards hits $40 million...
