While I was watching this movie I was reminded of 70's and 80's tv shows like Hart To Hart and McMillan and Wife. There is a very easy going vibe about Legal Eagles which is both it's good point and it's bad point. Redford and Winger have pretty good chemistry in a lower level Tracy-Hepburn sort of way , which is to say they are somewhere in between those two great stars and Rock Hudson and Susan St James in the McMillan and Wife television series.
Legal Eagles plot is strictly made for tv fare too. There is nothing here we havent seen before in Matlock or Murder She Wrote in terms of plot. So what's good about Legal Eagles ? Robert Redford is a legitimate movie star and he is fine in this movie. And I've always loved Debra Winger , and I wish she would have made more films.
Darryl Hannah plays an oddball artist suspected of murder and she was an interesting counterpoint to the two pretty straitlaced main characters.
Legal Eagles is a satisfactory "date night" type comedy romance with a little thriller thrown in, but nothing more.
