RAISING ARIZONA
Big-hearted policewoman Edwina “Ed” McDunnough (Holly Hunter) and reformed criminal H.I. “Hi” McDunnough (Nicolas Cage) make the perfect misfit couple, but no baby blesses their union. (“Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.”) The solution: redistribute one of the local celebrity quintuplets into their family. Quirkily comedic in the Preston Sturges mold and a left-field hit, the film helped launch the careers of future Oscar® winners Cage and Hunter. John Goodman steals his scenes as Cage’s ne’er-do-well brother with family issues of his own. DIR/SCR Joel Coen; SCR/PROD Ethan Coen. U.S., 1987, color, 94 min. RATED PG-13
