I Love Trouble 1994

     Sabrina Peterson is a new reporter for the Chicago Globe and Peter Brackett is a veteran reporter for the Chicago Chronicle.  The newspapers and the reporters are in competition for stories and sales.  There is a terrible train accident and Sabrina and Peter are working to see who can solve the case first.  This may or may not be related but two young men come to the scene of the wreckage and they steal luggage.  They drive quickly away from the accident.  One of the young men calls Sabrina and tells her that he has found some interesting evidence.  She might want to pay for what he has to sell?  When she goes to where he lives, he’s dead and the evidence is gone.  Sabrina and Peter finally decide to work together when they are both setup to be killed at the same place.

     I thought it was interesting to see how far the reporters would go to get a scoop for their paper.  They are taking risks that can get them killed?  Sometimes Peter would like to just phone in the story but Sabrina can't do that as a newcomer!!  The train accident turns out to be a very big cover up instead of just small news.  A high-tech company is trying to keep the big profits coming in!!  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

Note:  Imdb 5.2 out of 10, 20% critic 32% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, 

Amazon 4.3* out of 5* with 123 reviews.

Special Note:  Filmed in Madison, Baraboo, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Las Vegas, Nevada.  Roberts was 26 at the time of filming and Nolte was 53. Roberts didn’t get along with Nolte during filming.  Roberts said Nolte was the worst actor she ever worked with.  Nolte said this was the worst movie had had ever done.  Roberts said Nolte was disgusting.  Nolte said Roberts was not a nice person.  Both Roberts and Nolte refused to shoot their later scenes together.  This caused some quick rewriting, editing and camera tricks.  Word from the set was Roberts and Nolte occasionally got along when they were both fed up with the writers Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer.  Elmer Bernstein wrote the original score.  That score was rejected and replaced with a score by David Newman.  Warren Beatty was considered for the role of Peter Brackett. There is also another film with the same title from 1948.
