This Day in Disney

Feb 22, 1991

Scenes From a Mall is Released

Bette Midler, in her seventh film for Disney, and Woody Allen portrayed the unlikely couple, Nick and Deborah Fifer, in the Touchstone film Scenes From a Mall, released on this day in 1991. Together, they had it all: Two wonderful kids, successful careers and 16 blissful years of marriage. The happy couple spends their very special day together at the mall, where Nick gives Deborah an anniversary surprise that she’ll never forget… the news that he’s had an affair. And when it comes to a happy marriage, one good turn deserves another — so Deborah delivers the news that she, too, has had an affair.
