Absence Of malice
In this legal drama from director Sydney Pollack, Sally Field stars as Megan, an ambitious

newpaper reporter who, based on information from FBI investigator Rosen, played by Bob

Balaban, writes a scathing article that implicates Gallagher, a reclusive business-owner

played by Paul Newman, in the recent disappearance of a labor leader. When Gallagher confronts

Megan and sets her straight, the two team together to prove his innocence and have a few

romantic interludes along the way. Wilford Brimley and Melinda Dillon also star. ~ Matthew
