Synopsis:
 
The Nobody's Fool (1994) team of Paul Newman, director Robert Benton, and
scripter Richard Russo reassembled for this L.A. detective drama, beginning with
a Puerto Vallarta prologue showing private eye Harry Ross (Newman) accidentally
shot by 17-year-old Mel Ames (Reese Witherspoon) during his efforts to get her to
return home. Two years later, the broke and divorced Ross lives in a garage
apartment on the estate of Mel's parents, his movie-star friends Jack and Catherine
Ames (Gene Hackman and Susan Sarandon). The cancer-ridden Jack is not unaware
that Harry is attracted to Catherine. Delivering a package for Jack, Harry encounters
elderly Lester Ivar (M. Emmet Walsh), who shoots at Harry and then dies. Harry's
curiosity is provoked when he discovers that Ivar was an investigator checking into
the disappearance of Catherine's first husband, written off 20 years earlier as an
unsolved case, but now reactivated as Harry's sleuth-work leads him on a trail of
past crimes and cover-ups. The Ames residence is actually the former Cedric Gibbons-
Delores Del Rio home, and a never-completed Frank Lloyd Wright house near Malibu
served as the Ames' ranchhouse. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
