Her first move is to recruit private investigator Joseph Larch, who helps her uncover a secret about Danielle’s past that makes them see double.” The film starred Margot Kidder, Jennifer Sale, Charles Durning, William FinleyAND Lisle Wilson.
Another Pressman title being considered for a reboot is the 1992 crime thriller Bad lieutenant.
