Film for the month of March is Reversal Of Fortune 1990 starring Jeremy Irons, Glen Close, and Ron Silver. This is the story of a man accused of killing his heiress wife by injecting her with insulin, and Alan Dershowitz getting him off. I have been watching Alan Dershowitz on tv a lot lately and I started to think about his defending O.J. Simpson and then I remembered the case of Claus Von Bulow . I remembered he had written the book about that case back in 1985 that was then turned into a film in 1990. I have a good friend who is a forensic scientist in South Carolina who has worked with Alan on 8 cases after speaking with her lately I started to remember her telling me the story of the 8 cases of black men accused of a crime they did not commit and Alan was defending them free of charge ( in the end only one of the 8 was actually innocent) . This is a very well written script and Jeremy Irons won the Academy Award for Best Actor. I hope you enjoy this film.
Your movie Diva,
