I can tell you right now that "thriller' isn't a great word for "The Morning After". Its virtues certainly don't lie in the problematic script and uneven pacing. It's mostly the performances that are involving. The cast here is top-notch; Raul Julia, (I mean c'mon), Jeff Bridges in an unusual role, and Jane Fonda uniquely memorable as a has-been actress. What's fascinating is what Sidney Lumet does with the warehouse district of L.A., transforming it from smoggy industry to pastel-rich arthouse. Now, that's something. 6/10

Everyone knows the dreaded and proverbial phrase "the morning after", and most of us have experienced it at some point in our lives. In this film, Jane Fonda experiences a disastrous morning after. She wakes up next to a dead man and has no memory of the night before.Jane was up for an Oscar for her role as an alcoholic has-been actress, and she gives a fantastic performance as a boozy ol' broad. Her leading man is Jeff Bridges, a former policeman recovering alcoholic, and he's the only ally in her quest to prove her innocence.If you like sexy mysterious thrillers, you're definitely going to want to rent The Morning After. I'm not really a fan of Jeff Bridges, but Jane more than makes up for it. She's beautiful, does a great job, and is really easy to root for. I mean, do you really think Jane Fonda would stab someone to death during a heavy night of drinking? Well, you'll have to watch the movie to find out if she did.

"The Morning After" is a tepid thriller about an alcoholic has-been actress (Jane Fonda, whose performance was inexplicably nominated for an Academy Award) who wakes up one morning with a dead man at her side and no recollection of what occurred the night before. She later happens upon an occasionally racist ex-cop (Jeff Bridges) who decides to help her. Of course by the time Bridges and Fonda are sucking face the viewer has already pieced everything together. Director Sidney Lumet, who helmed the successful adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express," should know that if you're going to make a whodunit, there should be more than one possible suspect.

THE MORNING AFTER is one of those films that begins with an intriguing opening--JANE FONDA wakes up in bed next to a murdered man and, because she was in an alcoholic daze, can't remember even entering the man's apartment. So far, so good. Nice hook to draw the viewer in.But as the story unwinds, it becomes clear that the writers ran out of material for a substantial story about midway through. The weaknesses are offset somewhat by the good performance of JEFF BRIDGES as a helpful policeman who agrees to help Fonda solve the who-dun-it aspect of her plight.It's all beautifully staged and photographed in a sunlit Los Angeles and worth watching for the performances alone. Fonda is at her best as the worried alcoholic who refuses to believe she could have committed the crime and Bridges provides some good chemistry as a co-star.But the ending (with its revelation) is a bit disappointing after all the build-up to a conclusion. RAOUL JULIA and KATHY BATES have minor roles but the weak ending is hard to dismiss.Fonda won an Oscar nomination and deserved it for creating a dimensional character in a story thin on believable characters.
