 Jagged Edge (DVD) ... Mayenzet ... / DVD released 02 April, 2001 at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Jagged Edge was one of a series of entertaining if porous thrillers crafted by screenwriter Joe Eszterhas before he wrote the ridiculous Showgirls. This 1985 movie is a taut mystery about an attorney (Glenn Close) who defends a newspaper publisher (Jeff Bridges) accused of murder.

“Jagged Edge” is about the court case that follows the murders of Page Forrester, a San Francisco millionaire, and her maid.
