Curly Sue
Curly Sue is a 1991 American comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by John Hughes, and starring Jim Belushi, Kelly Lynch, and Alisan Porter. This was the last film that Hughes wrote and directed himself before his death in 2009.
Plot
Bill Dancer and his young companion Curly Sue are the archetypal homeless folks with hearts of gold. Their scams are aimed not at turning a profit, but at getting enough to eat. After moving from Detroit to Chicago, the duo cons the rich divorce lawyer Grey Ellison into believing she backed her Mercedes into Bill, in hopes of a free meal. When Grey accidentally collides with Bill for real, she insists on putting the two up for the night, even over the objections of her snotty fiancé Walker McCormick. After a confrontation with Bill exposing the truth of the con, Grey lets them stay for as long as they need when she understands the precarious position the homeless pair are in.
