Jagged Edge (1985)

I hadn't planned on this being a Jeff Bridges week but here's another virtuoso role.  He plays a man who may or may not have killed his rich wife and one could believe him as either villain or victim.  Of course he claims he is innocent and Glenn Close is coerced by her law firm to defend him since she has had experience in the D.A.'s office where she previously crossed swords with a rather swarmy Peter Coyote.  I doubt that it is accepted form for a lawyer to begin a steamy love affair with her client, but one parks logic at the door when watching this sort of film. All three of them are very good indeed.  There is also a nice turn from Robert Loggia as Close's foul-mouthed investigator who is firmly convinced of Bridge's guilt, but Close does have stars in her eyes. You may or may not guess the outcome.
