Legal Eagles
The reason no one dates personal injury lawyers is because they only want to promenade in front of businesses with icy sidewalks.
Luckily, the lawyer in this comedy-thriller is sleeping with a client, not a colleague.
Assistant D.A. Tom (Robert Redford) decides to help attorney Laura (Debra Winger) defend Chelsea (Daryl Hannah) against charges she stole a painting from an art dealer (Terence Stamp).
Adamant her father gave her the painting before his suspicious death - and destruction of his art collection - Chelsea not only convinces Tom but seduces him as well.
But when a dubious cop (Brian Dennehy) uncovers the entire collection intact, it threatens Tom's career and his life.
Crackling with comedic repartee, a fiery May/December romance and an unpredicted adversary, Legal Eagles may be clichéd but it's not without its charms.
Incidentally, if you're going to sleep with anyone in the court system - make it a judge. Yellow Light
