Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Robert Whitlow's novel; director Gary Wheeler specialized in Southern legal thrillers with faith elements. This was his biggest budget attempt.
Malcolm McDowell reportedly took the role because he enjoyed filming in Charleston and wanted to play 'respectable evil' rather than his usual chaotic villains.
