American Tales: The Sure Thing

on BBC Two England

Starring and Walter 'Gib' Gibson is a college freshman with the usual obsessions, namely junk food and sex. Offered the possibility of a passionate liaison with a 'sure thing' in California, Gib lines up a westbound lift. But there's a problem - with him is Alison Bradbury, studious, uptight and hyper-organised. In short, the total opposite of Gib's ideal woman.
A sharp romantic comedy from the director of Stand By Me and When Harry Met Sally.
Written by STEVEN L. BLOOM and JONATHAN ROBERTS Directed by ROB REINER
(First showing on British television)
