3.  He could do romantic drama

It had been awhile since we had seen Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino together on screen in Scarface.  A love story between a short-order cook with a past and a seemingly tough waitress could be a hard sell. Having Terrence McNally adapt the screenplay from his own off-Broadway play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune was a bold move, but it was having attractive, recognizable Hollywood actors playing the lonely protagonists that gave him some PR grief.  However, the acting, story, flakes of humor and Marvin Hamlish score make this worth another look. Marshall seemed to know what he was doing all along.
