MRS. HARRIS DVD
Despite the popularity of the Dr. Tarnower's revolutionary "lose one pound per day" diet, the womanizing ways of the Casanova cardiologist would soon come to a brutal end at the hands of his jealous, prescription drug-addicted lover Jean Harris (Annette Bening). Driven to despair after their fourteen-year romance failed to result in marriage and enraged by Dr. Tarnower's shameless status as a ladies man, Harris confronts her former lover in one violent, final act of desperation.

Starring Giovanni Ribisi (Gone in 60 Seconds, Saving
Private Ryan) and Elias Koteas (Lost Souls, The
Thin Red Line), HBO Films' SHOT IN THE HEART is the story of a
man coming to terms with the sins and secrets of his notorious brother
and, in the process, exploring the legacy of violence in his own family.
Based on the acclaimed nonfiction book by Mikal Gilmore, SHOT IN THE
HEART focuses on the convicted murderer's campaign for his own execution,
and the attempts of his family to understand his decision.
In fall 1977, Mikal Gilmore (Giovanni Ribisi) and his older
brother Frank, Jr. (Lee Tergesen) ride through the Salt Lake
Valley in a Rolls-Royce driven by ACLU lawyer Richard Giaque (Terry
Beaver). They are on their way to Utah's Draper Prison for a "one-time-only"
visit with their notorious brother Gary (Elias Koteas), a death-row
inmate set to be executed in a few days. Convicted a year earlier
of the brutal murders of two Mormon men, Gary has been sentenced to
death in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate capital
punishment. Since he stands to become the first American in more than
a decade to be executed, Gary has become the subject of enormous national
attention, and his request to die stuns his ailing mother Bessie (Amy
Madigan) and confuses his brothers. Mikal and Frank hope to meet
with Gary, change his mind, and get papers signed that will stay the
execution.
