Synopsis: Divorce lawyer Danny De Vito warns his prospective client that the story
he's about to tell isn't a pretty one, but the client listens with
eager intensity -- as do the folks out there in the movie in the
audience. The War of the Roses can best be described as a slapstick
tragedy concerning the decline and literal fall of a marriage. After 17
years, Oliver (Michael Douglas) and Barbara (Kathleen Turner) Rose want a
divorce. Not for this couple is there anything resembling a "civilized
understanding": Barbara wants their opulent house, and Oliver isn't about to part with the domicile. -- (Written by Twentieth Century Fox)
