- <p> As detective Harry Crumb, John Candy leaves no stone
- unturned but often leaves a trail of churning debris. In the
- movie Who Is Harry Crumb?, scheduled for release in February,
- the heavyweight star portrays a bumbling private eye who
- galumphs his undisguisable shape through myriad costume changes
- in pursuit of a kidnaped heiress. Crumb becomes rotund
- facsimiles of a Rastafarian window washer, a Hungarian
- hairdresser, Don King and Willie Shoemaker. "He has his own
- bravado," says the actor of his character, "and a great sense of
- conviction." Got up as Harlequin, the detective even manages to
- dance a faux pas de deux. "He's a sight to behold," says Candy.
- "Women are taken aback by him." And then they are carried out
- feet first.
