After winning this deluxe tour in a TV game show, the Griswolds set sail for misadventures in the Old World. This vacation should be as silly as last season's American counterpart. If you like some seriousness inter twined with the silliness, then St. El mo's Fire will be your best bet. The film is a poignant look at an intimate group of seven men and women who, in the months follow ing their college graduation, must face the resposiblities and issues of the real world, even at the risk of los ing their valued friendships. While its TV ad portrays the film as a Big Chill for the post-Clearasil genera tion, its cast of young actors has ample talent to sucessfully pull it off. Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, An drew McCarthy, Demi Moore, ludd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Win- ningham worked under the direc tion of Joel Schumacher, who has D.C. Cab and The Incredible Shrinking Woman to his credit. Although scheduled for release later this summer, Plitt Post Oak will show a preview at 10 p.m. Friday. Tom Hanks (Splash, Bachelor Party) stars in The Man With One Red Shoe, an American adaptation of the French hit film of mistaken identity, The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe.

Thomas Howell, Lori Laughlin and Kelly Preston. In Prizzi's Honor, Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner star as two pro fessional hitmen who fall in love, even though their contracts are for each other. John Huston directs this look at organized crime. Ron Howard furthers his brilliant directing career (Nightshift, Splash) with the science-fiction adventure, Cocoon. This film should be visually arresting because Donald Peterman (Flashdance) is the director of pho tography.
