Intolerable Cruelty

“Engage the enemy.”

Marilyn (Catherine Zeta-Jones) sets out to marry a rich man and divorce him for the payout, and she picks Miles (George Clooney), a Beverly Hills lawyer who wins divorce cases for a living. Joel Coen sets their courtship among lavish homes and sharp suits. Each of them is out to take the other for everything, and a marriage contract is the only thing holding the bet together.
