“Moonstruck” is a romantic comedy founded on emotional abandon and poignant truth. Not content with one romance, it involves five or six, depending on how you count, and conceding that some characters are involved in more than one.Three of his best-received films have African-American themes: “In the Heat of the Night,” the Oscar winner as best picture of 1967; “A Soldier’s Story” (1984), nominated for best picture, and “The Hurricane” (1999), which won Denzel Washington a nomination for his performance as the unjustly imprisoned boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.
