Blaze

Through three different stints as Governor of Louisiana, the unpredictable behavior of Earl K. Long (Paul Newman) delighted his backers and confounded his foes...but none of it prepared any of them for the late-life, whirlwind, and scandalous affair he’d launch into with notorious stripper Blaze Starr (Lolita Davidovich). Newman’s energetic effort and Davidovich’s sexual spark drive this fact-inspired seriocomedy directed by Ron Shelton ("Bull Durham"); Jerry Hardin, Richard Jenkins, Robert Wuhl co-star. 118 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
