Twilight (1998 Robert Benton & co-scr)

Yes the (co)writer of Bonnie and Clyde, What's Up Doc?, Bad Company, Kramer vs Kramer and the Paul Newman film Nobody's Fool.

A very successful attempt at a modern film noir, down to the femme fatale, short running time, twisty plot, Piotr Sobocinski's photography and Elmer Bernstein's most appropriate music.

Paul Newman is the ex-detective who works for Gene Hackman, fancies his wife Susan Sarandon; their daughter is Reese Witherspoon. Also involves detectives Stockard Channing and John Spencer (both from The West Wing), private eye James Garner, Giancarlo Esposito, Leiv Schreiber, Margo Martindale and M Emmett Walsh.
