Romantic comedy-thriller of the type populated (and lorded over) by Nick and Nora Charles. And a perfectly acceptable example of the type for anyone who remembers the Thin Man series as something less than sacrosanct classics (who remembers them, in other words, clearly). The one who makes the difference here is Robert Redford, who had not played comedy in better than a decade and who, whether out of genuine enthusiasm or fear of failure, truly throws himself into it -- to the extent, for example, of tap-dancing and singing (while simultaneously eating ice cream) as a cure for insomnia. And the chemistry, as they call it, is fine. Debra Winger, as the upstart attorney allied to Redford's lofty prosecutor, has the proper celebrity status in relation to her co-star, and the proper Catholic-schoolgirl attire to go with it. With Daryl Hannah; directed by Ivan Reitman. (1986) — Duncan Shepherd
