Her Alibi is a 1989 American romantic comedy film directed by Bruce
Beresford, written by Charlie Peters and starring Tom Selleck, Paulina
Porizkova, William Daniels and James Farentino.Phil Blackwood
(Selleck) is an American mystery novelist who comes across a dazzling
Romanian murder suspect named Nina (Porizkova) when she is arraigned
in the courtroom he is visiting. Instantly falling for her, Blackwood
poses as a Roman Catholic priest in order to meet her while Nina is
held pending her continued arraignment. Finding her wearing a crucifix
necklace (which would be forbidden in her communist homeland), he
assumes she's innocent when she does not confess to the murder. With
the help of his publisher and friend, Sam (Daniels), Blackwood invents
an alibi ("We're having an affair.") for Nina to secure her
release.Nina then takes up residence with Blackwood, serving as the
inspiration for a novel that will decide the fate of his and Sam's
careers in writing and publishing, all while evading operatives from
Romania's Securitate, one of whom committed the murder to stop Nina
and her family's defection to America. The climax of the film takes
place during The Funeral of Grimaldi, a jovial memorial service in
which many clowns gather to celebrate the life of Joseph Grimaldi.The
film was met with negative reviews, earning a 17% approval rating on
Rotten Tomatoes based on 23 reviews. Her Alibi Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
