Movie Description
BOSTON LEGAL, a wry courtroom television show that walks the line between drama and comedy, is the creation of perennial hit-maker David E. Kelly (ALLY MCBEAL, PICKET FENCES). The series revolves around the Boston litigation law firm of Crane, Poole, & Schmidt, and in particular two eccentric and flawed attorneys, Alan Shore and Denny Crane. Shore, an unscrupulous and wily ambulance chaser and womanizer (played with sly charm by James Spader), finds an uneasy alliance with Crane, a bombastic, self-aggrandizing, and occasionally batty elder lawyer (William Shatner in an Emmy-winning performance). Despite their ethical and emotional deficiencies, Shore and Crane usually find themselves fighting on the right side, as they take up cases that no one else is willing to touch. Candice Bergen also stars as Shirley Schmidt, a lawyer who joined the firm despite having some past history with both Crane and Shore. TV court veteran John Larroquette joins the cast in this exceptional fourth season.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he main attraction is the side-splittingly sublime partnership of Shore and Crane....BOSTON LEGAL is kooky while tackling hot-button issues."
