Pretty long, and not good enough to support its length. Nice illustration of the transition from Classical Hollywood films. Newman (playing the hot-headed lawyer like Tom Cruise in The Firm) and the girl were young, refreshing, and kinda funny sometimes. Newman is a good-looking guy, but he was a bit too weaselly for me. Joan was pretty hot. Chet looked a lot like the guy who gets a lap dance in Showgirls. That butler was a pretty cool witness. I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere before.
