- 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.
