This past weekend, I took a trip back to 1991 with a double feature of comedies about soap operas: “Delirious,” starring John Candy, and “Soapdish,” starring Sally Field, Kevin Kline and Elisabeth Shue.

I had previously seen “Soapdish,” which also features Robert Downey Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Cathy Moriarty, Teri Hatcher, Carrie Fisher and Kathy Najimy, but “Delirious” was a first-time viewing.
