Nadine

Nadine (1987) is a screwball crime caper you can watch online on iFILM. Kim Basinger plays a Texas hairdresser who drops by a photographer's studio to grab some compromising pictures — and walks straight into a murder. Robert Benton directs at the clip of a fast farce.

She never quite finished divorcing her good-for-nothing husband Vernon, played by Jeff Bridges, so naturally he's the one she drags back to the scene. Together they pocket blueprints for a shady land deal. Vernon smells money, tries to sell them on, and suddenly armed men working for a local operator (Rip Torn) are on their tail.

The whole thing runs on the spark between its two leads — bickering one minute, covering each other the next, with the divorce quietly forgotten. It clips along in barely 83 minutes, set against a dusty early-sixties Austin. Stream Nadine (1987) online on iFILM.
