Up Close & Personal reminds me of nothing so much as those career novels for teenagers, in which a plucky youngster rises to the top, guided by a helpful mentor. The movie could as well be titled, Tally Atwater, Girl Broadcaster. It tells the story of a poor young woman from Reno with an unhappy background (Michelle Pfeiffer), who fakes her resume to get a job on a TV station, and then plugs away until she s a network anchor. (To be sure, she s only the Saturday anchor - but she s still young.) During the years of her rise, which seem more like weeks or months, she s guided by a handsome local news director (Robert Redford), who was once a White House correspondent before he made the mistake of trusting a woman he loved.
