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
