Anybody else love this movie?

I like it too. Always gives me fond memories, as it came out my senior year in high school. I thought Selleck and Daniels played well off of each other. It is really hard to believe that Tom Selleck was nearly 44 years old when this was filmed. This is one of the few movies I have paid to see twice in one day. Maryland made an attractive and "not so typical shooting" location. It would be nice to see more movies like this in the theater today.

Popcornprincess16,

Not only that I love this movie but often use it as some sort of background for positive atmosphere. I'm not alone in this sentiment, for many of my friends considers the same remedy for good thoughts.

It has very charming atmosphere with very honest and likable flow.

Tom is very accessible and humble. Whatever you think or repeat after others… considering her requirements in this movie, I honestly think that Paulina was very honest and really supplied nice touch to already nice ensemble of actors. Movie is very, very relaxed.

It seems to me … this is one of those movies where nobody pursued of making some sensation,but rather truly a pleasant and funny experience. I like everything about this movie.

The crew, well chosen If I may say so, great atmosphere and taking location.

Believe it or not, just a few days ago while I was writing documents on my machine, Her Alibi was probably repeated twice on my screen. Just for that touch of good feeling.

There is nothing violent in this movie, and these days that is a rare virtue. Not even a slight sublimation of present movies. Greatest decade offered such movies.

Also, have you noticed that beautiful opening theme? Such profiled theme for relatively small project, just another proof of good collaboration.

Daniels and Selleck are so well matched together that one has a feeling they are really on daily basis every day.

You can collect biggest names in any movie, offer everything and yet there is no guarantee to accomplish such lovable results like found here in Her Alibi.

Yes! In fact, I came to this board to start a similar thread. I find it bizarre that just about every review I have seen for 'Her Alibi' has given it an average rating at best. Not only do I find the premise to be intriguing (living with a potential murderer and being the only thing in between her and freedom), but the gag throughout the movie of Philip embellishing incidents from his daily life and using them in his novel (especially hearing him recite the words as he types, using that tough-sounding narrative voice) is just priceless. Never seen it done in a movie before or since, and I think it is fantastically entertaining. They just don't make movies like this anymore. I'll never understand why this one gets trashed so often.

Oh, and by the way, the music is superb as well. Hope they release the score someday.

You know, I am a big Tom Selleck fan. And I liked this movie until I found out that Paulina Porizkova disliked Tom so much that she treated him like dirt. In fact, for the cover art, they had to use a different model and photoshopped her head on top since she didn't want to be touched by him. Tom, being the consummate professional that he is, never threw her under the bus about that. Since Porizkova ended up marrying Ric Ocasek (sp?), who is kind of 180 degrees from Tom Selleck, I am not surprised. Anyway, that little factoid ruined my pleasure in watching the movie. Sort of like trying to watch any of the Naked Gun movies with OJ Simpson.

I loved this movie. The scene I enjoyed the most was the one where the neighbor came over to tell the dinner guests returning from the hospital that the cat had been electricuted.

I love it. I wonder why it only got five stars out of ten. I gave it eight.

I don't really remember the story too well but I saw it in a Munich cinema when it came out in Germany and really enjoyed it. Plus I think Paulina Porizkova is one of the few talented models when it comes to acting. Never understood the nasty comments on her. She acted quite well and looked great. Tom Sellek too was a joy to watch, never afraid to make fun of himself.

great movie! nothing guilty about it. case dismissed!
