(Newman) who lives with a rich actor (Hackman) who
is dying from cancer and his actress wife (Sarandon)

blackmail money. He walks into a 20 year old case
involving the mysterious disappearance of the actress's
former husband. James Garner appears as another ex-cop
who also does occasional errands for the couple.
Comments:
Very
good show. I really liked this film, even though I
never heard of it until it was on cable. I was afraid
at the start that Newman was going to recycle his
curmudgeon character from "Nobody's Fool"
but instead he played a very different richly complex
character. Kudos also to the rest of the nearly all-star
cast. One important plot element absolutely jumped
out at me, even though none of the characters seemed
to notice, but aside from that I have no complaints.
Reese Witherspoon was particularly beautiful here.
