Shining Through

Recommended Posts

Winner of 3 Razzie Awards, 1992's Shining Through showcases Melanie Griffith as a secretary joining a mission in World War II as a spy while in love with her boss Michael Douglas. Pretty silly romantic war film that also features a pre-Schindler's List Liam Neeson as the main villain.

According to the Razzies movie guide, on the publicity tour for the movie, Melanie Griffith responded to a reporter's question about the Holocaust with, and I quote, "Wow! Six million... that's a lot of people!" Their response is perfect: "Is 'Shining Through' what happens when you hold a flashlight up to one of Ms. Griffith's ears?"

According to a source about this movie on Wikipedia, during the making of Shining Through, Melanie Griffith became aware for the very first time in her life, that Germans had done bad things to Jews during World War II, and she was quite outraged about it. This earned her the nickname "brainiac" which was used in Toronto-area print media for some time afterward.

Poor Melanie Griffith, she's been on Hawaii Five-0 this year and she looks terrible. too many trips to the plastic surgeon. it's really kind of sad.
