Alex is a washed-up alcoholic actress who
drinks until she blacks out. She wakes up with a dead stranger next to her
after a night she doesn’t remember.
She’s in a panic, she tries to get a flight out of LA but all the
flights to SF are booked. She gets
a ride with Turner, she meets him in the airport parking lot and then she can’t
seem to get rid of him. Turner
keeps turning up until Alex finally decides to let him help her out of this
mess. She also turns to her
ex-husband since he’s the only man she really trusts.
Jane Fonda received an Oscar nomination
for her role in this film. This
isn’t as good as Klute but she does a strong acting job. This is just OK and
seems dated, there is a secret that you don’t find out until close to the
end. 3* (This movie is OK)
103 min, Mystery directed by
Sidney Lumet with Jane Fonda, Jeff Bridges, Raul Julia, Diane Salinger, Richard
Foronjy, Geoffrey Scott.
Note: Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 5.7 out of 10,
71% critic 33% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note: Jane Fonda looks
better in this film after her hair is changed from bleached blond with dark
roots to a brown shade. Her appearance has held up a lot better in later
years than Jeff Bridges.
