Clark: “Are you a coffee fan, Dr, Ryan?” Ryan: “Yeah, I like coffee.” Clark: “Try the Lindo brand. I think you’ll like it.”
If you’ve seen a film more than 10 or 12 times over the last 30 years, it can be safely stated that you really, REALLY like it.
I attended the Clear and Present Danger press junket in San Francisco in the mid-summer of ’94. (31 years ago and change.) I forget why it happened at the top of Nob Hill instead of at one of the usual venues (the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, etc.) but for whatever reason that was the drill.
I had my 12-minute interview with Harrison Ford, and of course we discussed the Reagan administration’s involvement in the Iran-Contra affair.
I love how Clear and Present Danger doesn’t try to trick or fake you out. It just guides you along, lets you watch, listen and observe, and basically treats the viewer like a smart, well-educated person…it doesn’t play games.
