Catalogue Note

On the occasion of the 45th Golden Globe Awards on 23 January 1988, Williams found himself not in Los Angeles, but in New York hosting Saturday Night Live for the third time. Following the ceremony, Williams received numerous accolades and congratulations, including a note from his agent Michael Ovitz, who wrote: "It was your week, and this will be your year."  Loosely based on the life of Air Force radio DJ Adrian Cronauer, Good Morning, Vietnam (Touchstone, 1987) was extraordinarily successful — it remained the number one motion picture at the box office for six consecutive weeks following its release, and eventually took in over $120 million, making it the fourth-highest-grossing move of the year.
