SibIing RivaIry, director Carl Reiner s (FataI lnstinct) homage to the classic sIapstick crime comedy genre, stars Kirstie AIIey (Madhouse) as Marjorie Turner, the dissatisfied wife of Harry Turner (Scott BakuIa, TV s Quantum Leap), a workaholic doctor more invested in medical charts than in his beautifuI wife.
Encouraged by her sister Jeanine (Jami Gertz, Twister) that an affair might be just the thing to break the monotony, a clandestine tryst with a handsome stranger (Sam ElIiott, The Big Lebowski) ends on a low note when he dies from a heart attack. The comic twists and turns are just beginning when hoteI guest NichoIas Meany (BiIl PuIIman, SpacebaIls,) who thinks that he may have accidentaIly kiIled said stranger, looks to Marjorie for help after finding her driver s Iicense at the scene of the crime.
SibIing RivaIry, written for the screen by Martha Goldhirsh, co-stars Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Ed O NeilI (TV s Modern FamiIy), Frances Sternhagen (TV s The CIoser), BilI Macy (SeriaI) and Paul Benedict (Mandingo). |
