I'm still trying to figure this movie out.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

SPOILERS Cybill Shephard stars as Vicky, a woman married to a rich old man, who has one foot in the grave. Gregory Harrison plays Mike Riordon a district attorney, who is young, handsome and living at home with his Irish mom for the most. Vicky's husband Arthur gets Mike involved in a merger of two companies...or something like that even though he knows that Mike and Vicky were a couple and that she had dumped him. Whilst Mike and Vicky are attending a party, Arthur is alone at home when a burglar appears out of nowhere and shoots him point blank. Upset Vicky turns to Mike and at the same time a man appears to be following them. Vicky inherits everything from Arthur, which leaves Arthur's 2 kids very angry because they know that their father had changed his will, but he hadn't been able to give it to his lawyer yet there is no sign of the new will so therefore Vicky gets everything and then gets Mike as well. They take off together for a while, but after again realizing that they are being followed they go their separate ways until Mike starts to find clues on who had Arthur murdered. He confronts Vicky, who tells him that she had no part of it and he believes her, but then he sets himself up for his own death. This movie was WAY too confusing. Gregory Harrison seems to be wearing too much eye-liner in this movie because his eyes are black for most of the film and the whole plot of the movie was quite silly because it takes about 15-20 minutes to figure out who the killer was and Mike Riordon is supposed to be a D.A, but he is just plain gullible just because everything Vicky says are lies yet he believes them because he is way too hung up on her and she takes advantage of it all and why she constantly talks like she is in a courtroom is beyond me. A very strange movie.
