| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Black Widow |
|---|
BLACK WIDOW is a film directed by Bob Rafelson in 1987.
Alex -Debra Winger- Barnes works for the Justice Department. One day, by chance, she discovers that two extremely wealthy men have recenzly married the same woman and died less than six months after their wedding. Alex is convinced that these men have been poisoned for their money by this woman.
Alex follows Catherine -Theresa Russell- to Hawaï where Catherine has already met, and seduced, the rich Sami Frey, the owner of numerous hotels of the island. She manages to become Catherine's best friend in order to observe the Black Widow's strategy. Alex falls in love with Sami and discovers, but too late, that this event had also been planned by a not so naive Catherine.
