Goofs

One of the main themes of the film is the death penalty: the judge talks about the times she imposed it and the fear of it in her case is a major undercurrent. However, the film is set in Michigan (there are several references to Michigan and it was filmed in Detroit and Ann Arbor). Michigan abolished the death penalty in 1846, and nobody has been hanged under Michigan law since 1830.

User Reviews

Two movies in one. But well worth the watch.

Somewhat of an interesting movie in that it starts out being very hot and steamy and then progresses to be a good court room drama.

That's why I said you get two movies for one in this film. The way it plays out I don't think the film was sure which way it wanted to go at first but the second half of the film is definitely worth staying for.
