HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS

Dear, William (Director). Harry and the Hendersons. United States: Amblin Entertainment, 1987.

Starring: Peggy Plat (Librarian); John Lithgow (George Henderson); Kevin Peter Hall (Harry)

The library scene is brief in this movie, as George Henderson goes to learn more about Bigfoot (his destructive souvenir of a family camping trip). The librarian is a youngish female with big glasses and an unfortunate mullet. They converse. "Could you point me to some books on the, uh, Bigfoot?" "Sasquatch?" "Sasquatch?" "Sasquatch." "That's the one." "Fantasy, folklore, myths and legends, basement stacks, take the stairs. You could also try children's books." One of the books he takes home is entitled Bigfoot One on One: A True Story by Oliver Dear (no doubt related to the film's director). George's son's review: "This book sucks!" The acting is well done and there are lots of familiar faces (David Suchet, decidedly NOT Hercule Poirot) in an otherwise unremarkable family film.
