There are only Jack’s, his wife’s and the maid’s prints found on the scene. However, Kasey doesn’t buy his story, believing the wound was self-inflicted and arrests the still grieving Jack. This injury was allegedly inflicted by the intruder. Jack Forrester (Jeff Bridges) – Page’s husband – suffered a head injury and was knocked out at the time of the crime. He’s met by a colleague, Frank Martin (Lance Henriksen) who tells him that there’s another victim, the Forresters’ murdered maid, Consuela Martinez. The cops come to the murder scene en masse headed by ambitious District Attorney, Thomas Krasny (Peter Coyote) in a Macintosh (but minus a trilby). He kills her brutally with a serrated knife and writes “Bitch” on the wall with her blood. Differences are instead of leaving said chocolates with a note, then scaling down the building with the rope he’s brought, he ties the victim to the bed. He’s dressed head to foot in black, and Darlin Husband comments how this is the darkest advert for a certain brand of a box of chocolates that he’s ever seen. This man savagely kills the rich socialite, Page Forrester. A John Barry score accompanies this with this music is possibly inspired by a Hitchcock movie. The film starts one dark stormy night, it’s raining heavily as we follow an unseen man climb the stairs and head to the bedroom of a secluded beach house. It stars actress Glenn Close as lawyer Teddy Barnes along with Jeff Bridges as the enigmatic prime suspect, Jack Forrester, an apparently devastated man who may have brutally killed his wife. The story features a homme fatale and a lawyer with a haunting past. Jagged Edge (1985) set in San Francisco, is a film that successfully reversed those stereotypical film noir genders. This is in the Hitchcock directed courtroom drama.īack in the 1980s in a neo-noir, these two more traditional roles and genders were observed in another crime and courtroom thriller. In one of my recent reviews The Paradine Case(1947), defence barrister Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck) fell for his client, a possible femme fatale, Mrs Paradine (Alida Valli). This suspect may or may not have murdered their loved one. Many neo-noirs and noir movies feature a law enforcer – be it a police officer, detective or criminal lawyer – falling in love with the enigmatic, prime suspect.
