This razor-sharp, twisting whodunit, starring Jeff Bridges and Glenn Close, was one of the thrillers of the 1980s.

Lawyer Close defends wealthy publisher Bridges, who is accused of murdering his wife, and begins to fall in love with him.

Cracking courtroom scenes, bristling personal rivalries and simmering sexual chemistry combine to great effect as the tension mounts in one of those rare thrillers that really does keep the audience guessing right up until the very last minute.
