In America, can a man be guilty until proven innocent? Suppose you picked up this morning's newspaper and your life was the front-page story... and everything they said was accurate, but none of it was true. This is the powerful premise of this intelligent, absorbing drama from Oscar winning directory Sydney Pollack (1986 Best Director Out of Africa).
Paul Newman and Sally Field deliver charismatic star performances and head a cast that includes Josef Sommer, Bob Balaban and Wilford Brimley in a searing expose on the power of the press. Tightly written and expertly executed, Absence of Malice has all the right ingredients for outstanding screen entertainment.
