The widow of a murdered bank president and a maverick financier must prevent a crisis when Arab nations threaten to pull their funds from U.S. banks, thereby causing a worldwide financial collapse. Alan J. Pakula directs and Kris Kristofferson, Hume Cronyn, Jane Fonda, Josef Sommer, Martha Plimpton, Bob Gunton star. A perfectly groomed Jane Fonda (KLUTE) stars in ROLLOVER as a former film star whose corporate mogul husband is suddenly and mysteriously murdered. Fonda seeks the help of Kris Kristofferson (HEAVEN'S GATE) a financial troubleshooter, and together they try to expose the murderers and safeguard Fonda's finances. Kristofferson consoles Fonda on both financial and personal matters and the two travel to Saudi Arabia to broker a deal that will give Fonda the board chairmanship of her inherited firm. The Arab investors, however, pull a trump card on the pair, throwing the international financial network in an uproar. Conspiracy, political intrigue and big stars are at the heart of this film, as is true of a number of Alan J. Pakula's excellent films of the 1970s such as KLUTE, THE PARALLAX VIEW, and ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. A political-romantic thriller by Alan J. Pakula and replete with favorite themes of large-scale conspiracy and paranoia, ROLLOVER is perfectly in tune with the director's previous work, although this time set in the world of international high finance. Jane Fonda, who appeared in Pakula's KLUTE as a call girl, plays a former film star who inherits an oil corporation when her husband is murdered. Fonda's search to resolve the financial problems of the ailing firm end up instead causing chaos to an entire international finance network. Kris Kristofferson co-stars as Fonda's financial adviser and romantic interest. Theatrical Release: December 1, 1981.
This film marked Jane Fonda's next collaboration with director Pakula after KLUTE.
Life imitated art when Jane Fonda married media mogul Ted Turner (Turner Broadcasting Network, CNN) ten years after the release of ROLLOVER.
Jane Fonda's eminent acting family includes brother Peter Fonda (EASY RIDER, THE LIMEY) and late father Henry Fonda, the latter considered Hollywood acting royalty.
Fonda was very unpopular for a time for her protest against the Vietnam War, during which time she was dubbed "Hanoi Jane". However she won an Academy Award in the 1978 drama COMING HOME playing a Vietnam veteran's hospital nurse to Jon Voight's paraplegic.

The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each telling their own stories of obsession with Jewel. Tyler is clearly beautiful, ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a glow-in-the-dark condom, allowing him to engage in a condom duel with her jealous, similarly clad rock-star boyfriend. Eventually, Zach turns to ...

ECCO: George Sanders's documentary provides a lurid tour of the world. Material includes a look at the last performance of the Paris Grand Guignol, a human pincushion, and Swedes watching as a couple has sex. Though not completely explicit, this program is too mature for kids.
From the people behind MONDO FREUDO and MONDO BIZARRO comes THE FORBIDDEN, a freakish collage of mermaids, Nazis, and Swiss lesbians.
It's a Sick Sick World! Let George Sanders guide you through "a World Beyond Your Dreaming" in Ecco, which means "Look, Witness, Observe, and Behold" such sights as the final performance of the Grand ...
