Michelle Pfeiffer - Christine Helm Vole

Screenplay - David E. Kelley
Based upon the play Witness For The Prosecution by Agatha Christie and adapted to film by Billy Wilder in 1957

Sir Wilfrid has his work cut out for him, especially after he meets the beautiful and mysterious Christine. She's nothing like what he expected. Her disdainful attitude towards her husband and the proceedings is more than a little startling to him. She gives Sir Wilfrid a very different idea of her marriage to Vole and what happened the night of the murder. He has no idea what she's up to, but proceeds with the case anyway. He manages to poke holes in the stories and motivations of the prosecution's first few witnesses, but is stunned when they call Christine in to testify against Leonard. It's at this point that he begins to suspect that he's being played a fool, however, he just can't figure out her motive for betraying her husband. In the end, he discovers the plot behind her testimony, but it's too late to do anything about it

» The screeplay was written by David E.Kelley, husband of Michelle, this collaboration would be the third one together after To Gilliam On Her 37th Birthday in 1996 and Chasing Montana still in project.

» This new-version/remake has been welcomed by Agatha Christie's family. Agatha's grandson Mathew Pritchard said, "The role of Christine was written for someone like Michelle Pfeiffer. She'd be perfect in it. She's gorgeous, sultry and superbly talented. Would my grandmother approve? Definitely. It'll be one of the biggest films ever based on an Agatha Christie work."
