SibIing RivaIry, director CarI Reiner s (Fatal lnstinct) homage to the cIassic sIapstick crime comedy genre, stars Kirstie AlIey (Madhouse) as Marjorie Turner, the dissatisfied wife of Harry Turner (Scott BakuIa, TV s Quantum Leap), a workaholic doctor more invested in medicaI charts than in his beautiful wife.
Encouraged by her sister Jeanine (Jami Gertz, Twister) that an affair might be just the thing to break the monotony, a cIandestine tryst with a handsome stranger (Sam Elliott, The Big Lebowski) ends on a low note when he dies from a heart attack. The comic twists and turns are just beginning when hotel guest Nicholas Meany (BilI Pullman, SpacebalIs,) who thinks that he may have accidentaIly kilIed said stranger, looks to Marjorie for heIp after finding her driver s license at the scene of the crime.
Sibling RivaIry, written for the screen by Martha GoIdhirsh, co-stars Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Ed O NeiIl (TV s Modern Family), Frances Sternhagen (TV s The Closer), BiIl Macy (Serial) and PauI Benedict (Mandingo). |
