Legal Eagles starring Robert Redford, Debra Winger

Robert Redford, usually a pretty good judge of material, got snookered badly in this Ivan Reitman comedy that also starred 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 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 movie 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.

Synopsis
A handsome assistant district attorney and an ambitious lawyer face off, then join forces, in an attempt to defend a young performance artist. Chelsea Deardon, the artist in question, has been accused of theft, and someone's trying to frame her for murder, too. But when the charges are suddenly dropped, the opposing lawyers come together, agreeing that they each smell a rat. They continue to investigate, until they uncover the corruption and illegal activities of one of the most powerful figures in New York's gallery world.

Video Description
A sophisticated comedy starring Redford as an assistant district attorney who teams up with an eccentric lawyer played by Winger, to defend a girl accused of theft. While gathering evidence throughout Manhattan they get drawn into New York's glittering art world and seedy underworld, targeted for murder by a cutthroat killer.
