At The Movies
Actor Michael Douglas
enjoys the comparisons to his famous father, Kirk.
JOEY BERLIN
Special to The Jewish News
L
ike his father Kirk before
him, Michael Douglas brings
an intensity to the screen
that seems best suited for
playing dark characters, if not out-
and-out villains. He won the Academy
Award as best actor as the personifica-
tion of greed in Wall Street, and he is
doing it again in his new movie, A
Perfect Murder. This time he plays a
wealthy financier who thinks having
his unfaithful wife killed would be
better than just getting a divorce.
A Perfect Murder is basically the
same story as Alfred Hitchcock's 1954
classic, Dial M for Murder, with
Gwyneth Paltrow in the Grace Kelly
Joey Berlin writes for Copley News
Service.
role. But Douglas — fresh off hosting
the TV special "To Life! America
Celebrates Israel's 50th Anniversary"
— maintains that his movie, directed
by Andrew Davis, is not a remake.
"I think the studio is doing the film
a disservice by suggesting that it is," he
offers. "Patrick Kelly wrote it, and it
has nothing to do with the original.
He's not getting the credit due for
himself Really, it's closer to the play
that Hitchcock took his movie from."
Since Douglas was last seen playing
another troubled but superrich
financier in The Game last fall, it is
somewhat surprising to see him in a
similar role in A Perfect Murder. Even
to Douglas.
"The last thing I wanted to do was
another Prince of Darkness role after
The Game," he readily admits. "But this
was a real good script. This one's having
a good time at least, up until the end.
