France

Classic Movie Pairing

Romancing the Stone (1984)

Robert Zemeckis struck gold with this rollicking adventure that transformed Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas into bankable leading stars of the decade. Turner plays a sheltered novelist thrust into a dangerous Colombian treasure hunt, where she reluctantly teams up with Douglas’s rakish soldier of fortune (and Danny DeVito’s scheming smuggler) to rescue her kidnapped sister. The Australian phrase “beyond the black stump” refers to remote, unexplored territory—exactly where this adventure takes its mismatched heroes as they dodge bullets and villains in search of a priceless emerald. This powerful blend delivers bold berry and chocolate notes with a warming finish, capturing the film’s intoxicating mix of danger, humor and sizzling romantic chemistry.
