Mrs. Harris

She Loved Him, So She Shot Him.

Inspired by a true story, this HBO Films drama tells the tragic, unlikely tale of Jean Harris (Annette Bening), who made headlines in the early 1980s after shooting and killing her lover, the celebrated "Scarsdale diet doctor," Herman Tarnower (Ben Kingsley), at his home in suburban New York. The film portrays different accounts of Tarnowers fatal shooting with flashback scenes introduced by dramatic testimonials from one of the centurys most notorious and bizarre murder trials.
