Timeline:
The movie was released in the US in 1991

Vanessaīs appearance:
Already after 15 minutes you can hear and see Vanessa singing "What will I tell my heart" in the same dress like on the picture, just the color differs, itīs a blue dress. But after that one she starts to sing the song "The better part of me", itīs a very special song just read more about it in the next point. You can monstly hear her only during this one, but I LOVE this song. After a fight scene and a little small talk, Vanessa comes and says a few words. After 10 minutes without Vanessa her last scene starts: She sings "Work to do" in a HOT gold dress.
She appears for not more than 3 minutes and has about 5 lines of non-singing dialogue-so a really small role.

Whatīs special about this one:
Now the thing about "The better part of me": This song is written by Derek Bramble and Jimmy Scott. Itīs mid tempo ballad like "Dreaminī" and just FANTASTIC. And it was NEVER released on a cd, that is really a shame.
Vanessaīs song on the soundtrack is "What will I tell my heart", Mercury Records should have better used "The better part of me" because "What will...." is already on her "Comfort Zone" album - these guys are just loosers. Hearing "The better part of me" and seeing Vanessa was for me the BEST thing in this movie.

US gross - $7.5 Million

Story:
Two guys, one "smokin" (D. Johnson) and one "ridin" (M. Rourke), try two help a buddy to keep his bar, but a big company wants to build a skyscraper on its ground. Sure the company isnīt very "clean".

Vanessa is acting as a singer in this one, the BEST acting performance in the whole movie :-)
