For crust, combine crumbs and 1 1/2 sticks butter. Press against bottom and sides of 9 x 13 inch pan and place in freezer. Place 2 sticks softened butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in mixer bowl. Beat 20 minutes with electric mixer. Spread on crust.

Meanwhile, slice bananas and dip in reserved pineapple juice or lemon juice. Layer bananas on top of filling. Spread well drained crushed pineapple on top of bananas. Prepare whipped topping mix if necessary. Spread over pineapple. Sprinkle with nuts and sliced cherries. For best results, chill several hours or overnight. Cut in small squares to serve.
