Amazon.co.uk Review
Robert Redford, usually a pretty good judge of material, got snookered badly in Legal Eagles, an Ivan Reitman comedy which also stars Debra Winger and Daryl Hannah. Redford is a rising assistant D.A. who is prosecuting a woman (Hannah) for theft of a painting by her father. Before he knows what's hit him, he's involved romantically both with the defendant and with her scattered lawyer (Winger). Redford is as good as he can be, given the circumstances but this is a film that doesn't know where it's going. Originally intended as a serious film about the legal wrangling over the estate of the late Mark Rothko, this film quickly degenerated when the script was turned over to Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr, whose sparkling oeuvre includes Turner and Hooch. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com
Product Description
lui - tom logan - divorziato, e' un assistente procuratore distrettuale, davanti al quale si stanno aprendo lusinghieri orizzonti professionali e forse politici; lei - laura kelly - una avvocatessa spigliata, efficiente e di successo. spetta al magistrato aprire una inchiesta sulla base di una denuncia a carico di chelsea deardon, una ragazza accusata di tentato furto di quadri, difesa appunto dalla kelly. la bionda chelsea ha alle spalle una adolescenza difficile: essa e' la figlia di un notissimo pittore (il proprietario dei quadri era proprio lui), perito in un furioso incendio nella loro casa ed e' assolutamente decisa a recuperare almeno una parte (una, quella a lei piu' cara soprattutto) delle opere, oggi di grande valore sul mercato, sicuramente in mano a qualcuno. chelsea, a quanto ben presto scopre il tandem logan-kelly, ha ragione: sono stati i soci stessi del padre a rubare i quadri durante l'incendio dolosamente appiccato. preme alla ragazza di rientrare in possesso del quadro di lei bambina, con tanto di dedica del padre. durante l'indagine, tom e laura si imbattono in tipi insospettabili quanto loschi (il direttore di una galleria alla moda, un detective ed altri ancora), finche' si scopre un morto e chelsea (che ne e' stata l'amante), accusata del delitto (che non ha commesso) va sotto processo. solo la grande abilita' di logan riesce a salvarla: dimessosi, infatti, dal suo ufficio di inquirente, egli fa ora l'avvocato, associato a laura certo com'e' dell'innocenza della giovane cliente. poi gli assasini vengono smascherati, il sedicente detective si manifesta per quello che era (e, cioe' uno degli antichi soci del defunto pittore), il quadro con dedica viene recuperato (mentre la galleria va a fuoco) grazie agli sforzi dell'avvocato.

This review is from: Legal Eagles [DVD] [1986] (DVD)
This movie is one of my long-time favourites. Although the storyline is not very easy to follow at some points, the acting of Redford and Winger are excellent. Watch out especially for the looks and the quick remarks they make! Another character worth mentioning is the daughter of Logan (Redford) - a witty teenager who sees things from the most hopeful point of view. And if you have a keen eye for subtleties that show the human side of these lawyers (especially the "can't sleep", the tap-dancing and the kitchen scenes), you are bound to smile and laugh a lot on this movie.

Aspect Ratio and Screen Format information wrong,
By
This review is from: Legal Eagles [DVD] [1986] (DVD)
First of all. I like this movie very much, but...
I was a little disappointed to see that the screenFormat wasn't "Anamorphic (2.35:1), Full Screen" but "Anamorphic (4:3), Closed Screen". In other words. The hight of the picture is corresponding to aspect ratio 2.35:1, and the width to aspect ratio 4:3. So, the given information about the Aspect Ratio 1.85:1 (that means full wide-screen TV picture) is not true. This movie deserves better/full screen. Greetings from the Netherlands

This is a great film! The comedic parts are great, and Redford and Winger get on great on screen!Hannah's character, however, is a bit more annoying and the story ending rather silly. Nevertheless, a great movie to watch!
