We think we know everything about Brad Pitt’s filmography, and it’s quite logical for a star of this standing. But have you ever heard of the romantic comedy “The Favor”?
He is one of those XXL Hollywood stars who have filmed very little, often for the older ones, and whose filmography we think, quite logically, knows the back of his hand. Because frankly, Brad Pitt, we know everything about him, right?
However, there is a film by the American actor that you may not know… The romantic comedy The Favor, released in theaters in the United States in 1994, when Brad Pitt was already a star after his appearances in front of the cameras of Ridley Scott (Thelma & Louise) and Robert Redford (And in the middle flows a river), does that ring a bell?
The Favor, released in France on DVD, tells the story of Kathy and Emily, two very good friends played on screen by Harley Jane Kozak and Elizabeth McGovern. One is a stay-at-home mom, leads a too quiet life for her taste with her husband Peter (Bill Pullman), while the other runs an art gallery and lives with a popular artist (Brad Pitt).
Seven: everyone took a freeze frame at 1 hour, 55 minutes and 15 seconds!
The two young women are in search of romance, and when Kathy learns that Tom (Ken Wahl), her childhood sweetheart, is in the same town, she asks Emily a favor: to seduce him and learn everything about these fifteen years that separated them. But one day, Emily becomes pregnant. Who is the father ? Tom or Elliott?

It should be noted that The Favor, directed by Donald Petrie (who had accompanied the debut of another Hollywood star, Julia Roberts, with Mystic Pizza), allows us to discover a Brad Pitt with a rather unusual look. The actor indeed wears thin glasses!
