The Shadow doesn't even know
The Onion's AV Club talks to Penelope Ann Miller about "Random Roles," including her turn as Margo Lane in 1994's "The Shadow" movie.
The Shadow (1994)—“Margo Lane”
PAM: Well, I love the period. I love the ’30s, I love the costumes, and my hair and my makeup, and it really reminded me of the sort of classic movies of the ’30s and ’40s, where there was fun banter. I’m working with the great-looking leading man, Alec Baldwin, who was also very funny. I just loved the style, the sets, the costumes, the cinematography, it was really cool. Ian McKellen played my father… good acting all around. Peter Boyle was in it, who’s also unfortunately passed. He was a great actor.
AVC: That one was pitched to be a blockbuster, and didn’t do so well. Why do you think that was?
PAM: You know, it’s so hard to tell the rhyme or reason, and why certain movies make it and some don’t. A lot of it’s timing, a lot of it’s how they promote it… I don’t know. I think it could have been, I really do. I think it’s a fun film to watch, so I don’t know why it didn’t catch on. It could be a lot of variables that I, unfortunately, don’t have any control over.
She mentions the costumes and the actors, but has to be prompted to say something about the overall movie. That's probably the classiest way to speak about "The Shadow."
