Den vilda jakten på stenen

Romancing the Stone

Basically, it's a quest for a precious rock enlivened by romantic sparring from Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, cracking set-pieces, exuberant direction and Danny DeVito on top form.

...a silly, high-spirited chase picture that takes us, as they say, from the canyons of Manhattan to the steaming jungles of South America.

...uses Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones franchise as the template through which to bolster Douglas's public machismo.

...it is the interplay between Turner and Douglas that gives the film its real charm.
