The Good Fight ★★½ 1992

Grace Cragin (Lahti) is a lawyer at a small firm who's asked by her son's best friend to represent him in a tough case against a powerful corporation. The young man is dying of mouth cancer and he wants to sue the tobacco company that makes the chewing tobacco he blames for his illness. Grace is wary of the high-powered litigation necessary but with the increasingly personal aid of her prominent lawyer exhusband (O'Quinn), she is ready to battle the odds. Another fine performance by Lahti in this cable drama. 91m/C VHS . Christine Lahti, Terry O'Quinn, Kenneth Welsh, Lawrence Dane, Adam Trese, Tony Rosato, Andrea Roth, Jonathan Crombie; D: John David Coles; W: Beth Gutcheon; M: W.G. Snuffy Walden. CABLE
