Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure which opens today relies solely on its star for laughs, and his TV routine buckles under the weight. Played by Los Angeles comic Paul Reubens, Pee-Wee Herman has achieved, at best, a cult following largely south of the border thanks to regular appearances on David Letterman's Late Night TV show.
