In MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, “John Kelso” (John Cusack) is a young writer from New York who has been sent to Savannah on behalf of Town and Country magazine to cover a prestigious Christmas party given by prominent citizen “Jim Williams” (Kevin Spacey). Although seemingly a straightforward assignment, it turns into unexpected drama when Williams is arrested for the murder of his sometime lover “Billy Hanson” (Jude Law). Kelso’s article turns into a potential book about a startling murder trial in an unexpected setting – and he turns into an observer with not quite the objective eye that he hoped to have. Richard Herd had a supporting role in the film as “Henry Skerridge.”

Clint Eastwood directed the 1997 drama. Lennie Niehaus’ score did not make an appearance on the Malpaso/Warner Bros. song-track CD.
