Presumed Innocent [DVD] [1990]

Amazon.co.uk Review Rich with ambiguity, this smooth adaptation of Scott Turow's bestselling mystery novel stars Harrison Ford as Rusty Sabich, the prosecuting attorney assigned to a case involving the murder of a beautiful, seductive lawyer (Greta Scacchi) with whom he'd been having a secret affair. After the investigation gets off to a slow start, damning evidence points to Rusty as the prime suspect. His career is destroyed when his superior and secondary suspect Raymond Horgan (Brian Dennehy) sets him up for the fall. Bonnie Bedelia plays Rusty's wife Barbara, who is not above suspicion herself. While Ford's performance rides a fine line between presumed innocence and possible guilt, director Alan J Pakula (All the President's Men) maintains a consistent tone of uncertainty that keeps the viewer guessing. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com Product Description Harrison Ford plays Rusty Sabich, an attorney who finds himself charged with murder in this thriller, directed by Alan J. Pakula ('All the President's Men'). The victim (Greta Scacchi) was a colleague of his, with whom he had a brief but intense affair, and the attorney finds himself needing a defence lawyer.
