A bittersweet romantic story about two people trying to find love. Johnny is a short order cook just released from Prison. Frankie is a waitress who has given up on love. He falls in love with her and tries to help her to let go of the fear of being hurt and let love in again.some tips from the Director of Frankie and Johnny(Garry Marshall):Director Garry Marshall wrote in the bowling scene because Michelle Pfeiffer likes to bowl. "It's much more difficult to teach actors new hobbies."

"Before I sat down with Al Pacino, I knew about his love of Shakespeare and his altruism toward actors and esoteric projects, but what he told me was that he also had a passion for handball. We were able to work handball right into "Frankie and Johnny" when we placed a small rubber ball in his character's pocket. Throughout the film, whenever it was appropriate, Johnny would play with his rubber ball."
