hard charging private investigator
G us Petch, in Intolerable C ruelty
produced by U niversal Pictures and
opening in theaters nationw ide on

A mix ofB everly Hills high glam ­

M iles M assey (C looney) w ho has

to look for new challenges. He finds
his greatest challenge when he meets
the m uch-divorced M arilyn Rexroth
(Zeta-Jones), a hard-headed w om an
pursuing financial independence
through serial m atrim ony. U nder­
handed tactics, deceptions and an
undeniable attraction escalate as
M arilyn and M iles square o ff per­
sonally and professionally in this
classic battle o f the sexes.
“G us Petch is a little overly seri­
o u s," says C edric about his ch arac­
ter. “ He is a little ex-m ilitary - m ore

Initially w hen the charge o f a
rac ial ly-m otivated ki 11 ing w as p ro ­
posed, the killer den ied it. It w as a
street braw l, plain and sim ple. But
the prosecutor insisted and finally
a plea-bargain deal w as reached.
G radually a street braw l w as co n ­
verted by the public m ind into a
hunting party and its prey. A t­
tem pts to correct this m yth w ere

O nce the racial m otivation b e ­
cam e official doctrine, the path w as
open to reach out for national lead­

first, but w as insigni ficant over the
longer term. A fter m eetings w ith
M etzger, L anger concludes that he
is probably not significantly w orse

he had never been charged.
