Klute collaborators Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland reunite in a more lighthearted vein for this funny, freewheeling fable from writer David S. Ward and producers Tony Bill and Michael and Julia Phillips, the team behind the same year's Academy Award®-winning Best Picture The Sting.
Fonda plays Iris, a good-natured hooker whose pay-and-play clientele includes a Who's Who of City Hall. But she's faithful to free-spirited parolee Jesse Veldini (Sutherland), who's itching to resume his career as a demolition derby driver. Veldini's return could ruin the reelection campaign of his ambitious DA brother (Howard Hesseman) - so steps are taken to make the ex-jailbird toe the line. Peter Boyle, John Savage and Garry Goodrow co-star in this nutball charmer.
