The Big Easy
Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin star in this romantic thriller, a box office hit that captivated audiences with its saucy blend of New Orleans nightlife, steamy romance and sultry suspense. When a hood’s murder triggers a bloody gangland drug war, detective Remy McSwain (Quaid) is on the scene. He’s a smooth-talkin’ cop who fits right in with the easy style of Cajun country. Remy meets his match in Anne Osborne (Barkin), a no-nonsense Assistant District Attorney in town to investigate police corruption. At odds from the moment they meet, their electrically charged attraction keeps the sparks flying. Co-starring Ned Beatty as Remy’s superior officer, The Big Easy is a tale of crime and seduction set against a city with a mood all its own. (1986 1 hour 43 minutes)
