Fiona Gordon Movies
Fate starts making trouble for a high-spirited young couple in this wildly offbeat French comedy. Dom (Dominique Abel) and Fiona (Fiona Gordon) spend their days as teachers at a grade school in a small town, and by night they motor off to the big city and dazzle the crowds at dance contests with their moves on the floor. After picking up a trophy at a competition one evening, Dom and Fiona are driving home when a man with a death wish dashes into the road. They manage to avoid hitting him, but lose control of their car and end up in a serious accident. The next morning, Fiona discovers she's lost one of her legs, while Dom has suffered brain damage that's causes his powers of memory to go haywire. Plucky Dom and Fiona try to go on with their lives as if nothing has changed, but despite their high spirits and can-do attitude, reality has a habit of getting in the way -- Fiona has a hard time leaning to use crutches and accidentally sets her artificial limb on fire, while Dom's attempts at cooking are hampered by his inability to remember what ingredients he's already put into the mix. Stars Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon also wrote and directed Rumba in collaboration with Bruno Romy. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Three European directors - Bruno Romy, Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon - teamed up for the quirky and offbeat Franco-Belgian feature Iceberg, which represents an unofficial cinematic homage to the comedic antics of screen legends Jacques Tati, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Fiona Gordon stars as Fiona, a down on her luck, self-deprecating mother and wife who spends her days running a nearby restaurant. When she accidentally gets locked in the establishment's freezer, however, a transformation occurs; a theretofore unseen zany and wacky side emerges from the character (ala Chaplin, during the "mechanization" sequence of Modern Times); she becomes über-obsessed with all things frozen, and later embarks on a nutty, defiantly unpredictable adventure with a deaf sailor whom she encounters, aboard a boat ominously christened 'Le Titanique.' ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Sloane (Robert Logan, but played by Robert Conrad in the TV series) and his mission: to locate and return a powerful machine capable of turning the world into rubble. To complicate matters, the film was later titled T.R. Sloane. ~ John Bush, All Movie Guide
