Movie Description
Rebecca Carlson (Madonna) is on trial for the murder of her wealthy, older lover, whom the D.A. (Joe Mantegna) is convinced died as a result of an intense lovemaking session. It is up to her attorney (Willem Dafoe) to prove Rebecca's innocence, but when he becomes entangled in her web of erotic game-playing, he too is endangered by her passion.
Synopsis
An elderly millionaire is found dead in his bedroom, the apparent victim of a heart attack. But the wealthy septuagenarian may have been murdered. His secretary claims this is so, and the police investigation uncovers evidence pointing to the dead man's kinky sexual affair with gallery owner Rebecca Carlson -- a woman who stands to inherit $8 million dollars from the deceased's estate. The District Attorney's office charges Rebecca with murder. The weapon: her own deadly body. Hot-shot Portland defense lawyer Frank Dulaney decides to defend Ms. Carlson, and he's convinced of her innocence, at first. But soon he and Rebecca are sharing handcuffs, dripping hot candle wax on each other's bodies and having sex on car rooftops. His mind clouded by lust, Dulaney continues to believe that Rebecca is innocent of all charges -- until he finds his faith in the fatal temptress shaken by a startling courtroom revelation.
Film Notes
Not to be confused with "Body of Evidence" (1988), a television movie starring Margot Kidder, Barry Bostwick and Tony Lo Bianco.
Color by DeLuxe.
