Crime of the Heart
This is the one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. If I didn't know better, I would say the author knows me and two of my sisters. In fact, I am sending each of my sisters this DVD for Christmas. (I have searched for years for this movie. The rental movie places do not carry it which is such a shame. Diane Keaton is one of my favorite actresses. Gosh, amazing talent in this movie. The lemonade scene is so much like my sister!!!!! I would recommend this movie to anyone. This movie will never be outdated!!!!!!!!! GPC Panama City Beach, Fl

Three Unlikely Sisters make Fun
Crimes of the Heart is the screen adaptation of the hit Beth Henley play. The McGrath sisters are an unlikely a set of sister. Their family was once the pillar of society but now they have fallen from grace.

Lenny (Diane Keaton) is the oldest sister, Meg (Jessica Lange) is the middle sister and Babe (Sissy Spacek) is the baby sister. Each is very different. Lenny has become a spinster (well she was a spinster even before she was old.) Meg has always been a free spirit and has fled the small southern town (well, she left a under a cloud.) Babe had everything come easy to her and married a successful lawyer. Also, there is cousin Chick (Tess Harper) who married above her station and is quick to point out the sisters faults.

As the film starts Lenny is celebrating her birthday, alone. Babe returns to the family home after shooting, but not killing, her husband. Meg also returns for a reunion under these unpleasant circumstances. Of course, what follows is the sisters reopening old wounds. Meg also opens up one of her own old wounds by reuniting with her high school sweetheart, Doc (Sam Sheppard or Mr. Jessica Lange). But the big question is why did Babe shoot her husband (Beeson Carroll)? She won't even tell her own lawyer (David Carpenter).

This is a brilliant comedy with great performance by all. Sissy got the Oscar nomination but all three sisters were great. This is a great look at the early eighties mores from a small town point of view.

DVD EXTRAS: None


a Classic!
I saw this movie on tv in the late 80's and it's always stayed with me. I now on it and watch it from time to time. the best thing about this movie is of course the actors! all 3 woman are amazing and some really good supporting roles as well. it has some pretty touching subjects in the film. dealing with death, abuse and an interacial love afair. so if you want a movie that has some pretty darn funny stuff in it thats also touching with some damn good performances then watch this movie!
