PEOPLE, Page 105Dance of The Sugar-Plump Fairy
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.
