BLACK WIDOW

Sensuality. Glamour. Passion. All elements missing from the life of federal agent Alexandra Barnes. In the dreary confines of her Justice Department cubicle, Alex searches the computer banks for clues to the identity of a serial killer -- a woman to whom murder has become a final expression of love. The search becomes an obsession that will ultimately draw the agent out of her office, into the most intimate confidence of the suspected murderess. Their friendship will transform Alex into the woman of her boldest dreams and her deepest fears. Debra Winger stars in BLACK WIDOW as Alex Barnes, a federal agent hunting a woman she suspects of marrying and murdering a series of wealthy men, and Theresa Russell stars as Catharine, the elusive beauty whom Alex pursues. Nicol Williamson, Dennis Hopper and French film veteran Sami Frey co-star as the men targeted to fall victim to her affections. Director Bob Rafelson, the creator of Five Easy Pieces, The King of Marvin Gardens and the updated James M. Cain drama The Postman Always Rings Twice directs this Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation release, executive produced by Laurence Mark and produced by Harold Schneider (Days of Heaven, War Games) from an original screenplay by Ron Bass.
