In 1994, however, he made the best romantic comedy of his career, Only You. Starring Marisa Tomei (pictured), it's about a girl named Faith, a sentimental soul who goes to fortune-tellers and reads the astrology columns to find her true love.
When the name Damon Bradley crops up three times in three days, she is convinced it is an omen. Bradley, whom she has never seen, must be the love of her life, she feels, and so she sets off to find him. Her journey leads her to the most romantic of all countries, Italy.
Instead of Bradley (Billy Zane), however, she keeps bumping into an American, Robert Downey Jr, who does not look like husband-material to her, but who knows what destiny has in store. With sharp comedic support from Bonnie Hunt and Fisher Stevens, radiant images of Rome from cinematographer Sven Nykvist and music from Rachel Portman, it's a witty, romantic comedy that is well worth watching.
