The Yes Minister writer didn't write this one - that was Dale Launer, who sets up Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield for murder in Georgia, and get novice attorney Joe Pesci to defend them... with the invaluable support of Marisa Tomei, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. (She beat Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives, Joan Plowright in Enchanted April, Vanessa Redgrave in Howard's End and Miranda Richardson in Damage.)
Courtroom scenes where Pesci comes into his own, winning appreciation of Judge Fred Gwynne, are the most fun.
With Austin Pendleton, Lane Smith. Bruce McGill, Maury Chaykin.
